Congratulations!
Your pager sets a new standard in Tone & Voice Paging. It is a highly reliable and very compact synthesized receiver, equipped with a built-in speaker and cellular type telescoping antenna and is shipped with a AA size NiCd battery and a single unit desktop charger. All in all it is infused with the quality and attention to detail which are the hallmarks of SCA. Battery Installation Sceptar can be operated with a single AA size battery, which can be either a dry type (Alkaline) or a rechargeable 700 mAh NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) battery. 1. Ensure the Slide Switch is in the OFF position. 2. Move the Locking Slide toward the center of the battery cover, as shown in illustration. Then slide the cover toward the bottom of the pager to remove it. Insert the negative (-) end of the battery into the pager first, then press the positive (+) end down. The battery compartment is marked with negative (-) and positive (+) positions. 3. Replace the battery cover and reset the Locking Slide. Single Unit Desktop Charger Use only the specified NiCd battery type. The charger will charge one battery, installed in the pager, as well as a spare battery. Pages can be received during charging, so long as the pager is in Select or Monitor mode.

If Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 are programmed with the same frequencies, then the pager must be operated in the Select mode to continue to scan. Automatic Reset (Software Option) This function automatically resets the pager to Select mode. The reset function can be set during programming to activate after a specified period of time or at the end of the voice message. Low Battery Alarm (Software Option) This function emits a constant alert tone when the battery voltage has dropped to a level insufficient for reliable operation. The NiCd battery should be recharged or a new Alkaline battery should be inserted.
