CAMPUS PAGER  
The Campus Pager can send ten different message codes (0-9) and address  
up to 100 individual (system) pagers.  
Attractive features of the Campus Pager system include:  
• Nonvolatile memory—stores system and pager codes for over one year,  
even if the power fails.  
• Pager message memory—stores the last eight message codes and lets you  
review them by pressing a button.  
• “Page All” feature—sends a message to all pagers simultaneously.  
• Center-loaded antenna—provides up to a maximum of two miles  
transmitting range, depending on the conditions at the receiving site. You  
can replace this antenna with an outdoor antenna for extended  
transmittion range. One of your local consumer electronics stores might  
carry an outdoor antenna. If you cannot locate a store that sells an  
antenna, call for technical support.  
• “Low Battery” alarm—shows when the pager’s battery level is low.  
3.2 Tone Pager (FX801A)  
The Tone Pager beeps 12 times every ten seconds. This process is repeated  
three times and then the pager beeps once every 60 seconds. Pressing the  
on/off button allows you to view old messages from newest to oldest. Two  
FX801A pagers come with the FX800A; no pagers come with the FX810A (you  
must order them separately).

3.3 Vibrating/Tone Pager (FX802A)  
The Vibrating/Tone Pager works in a similar fashion, except that it does not  
beep 12 times every ten seconds. Instead, it vibrates once. The process does  
not repeat three times, but the unit does beep once every 60 seconds, and  
allows you to view old messages from newest to oldest by pushing the on/off  
button. The FX802A includes one pager; however, you can order additional  
pagers to work with your base unit.  
UNPACKING THE FX802A  
The FX802A package includes:  
• (1) Vibrating Pager  
• This User’s Manual

4. Installation  
4.1 Positioning the Campus Pager  
You can operate the Campus Pager from a flat surface such as a table,  
counter, or shelf. Or, you can use the supplied wall-mount brackets to mount  
it on a wall. Steel and concrete walls reduce the Campus Pager’s transmitting  
range. If the Campus Pager is located in a concrete or steel building, and part  
of the coverage area is located outside the structure, place the unit and  
antenna close to a window.  
To mount the Campus Pager on a wall, follow these steps:  
1. Slide the wall-mount brackets into the 2 wall-mount sockets, as shown in  
Figure 4-1.  
Figure 4-1. Connecting wall-mount brackets.

CAMPUS PAGER  
2. Insert the center-loaded antenna connector into the antenna jack on the  
right side of the Campus Pager. Turn the connector clockwise until the  
antenna locks in place. For maximum efficiency, extend the antenna to its  
full length, orient it vertically, and keep it away from walls. See Figure 4-2.  
Figure 4-2. Connecting the antenna to the Campus Pager.  
3. Mark the positions for the two supplied mounting screws on the wall. The  
positions should be 5-7/8” apart. Drill the two holes, then thread the two  
screws into the wall. The screws should extend 1/5”. Do not over-tighten  
the screws.  
4. Align the keyholes on the back of the brackets with the two screws, then  
push in and press down to secure the Campus Pager to the wall. See  
Figure 4-3.

CAMPUS PAGER  
Figure 4-3. Connecting the Campus Pager to the mounted screws.  
You can use an outdoor base antenna in place of the supplied antenna to  
increase the Campus Pager’s transmitting range. The PL259-type antenna jack  
on the Campus Pager makes it easy to use with a variety of antennas.  
WARNING  
When installing or removing a base station antenna, use extreme  
caution. If it starts to fall, let it go. It could contact overhead power lines.  
If the antenna touches the power line, contact with the antenna, mast,  
cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the power  
company to remove the antenna. Do not attempt to do so yourself.

CAMPUS PAGER  
4.2 Positioning the Antenna Ground Wire  
For best transmission, fully extend the black antenna ground wire. Do not coil  
this wire, as this will diminish the transmission efficiency.  
4.3 Connecting Power to the Campus Pager  
Plug the power cord into a standard AC outlet.  
The Campus Pager does not operate when AC power fails, but it maintains  
the system code in memory. (See Section 4.6.) Because the Campus Pager  
maintains its memory through power failure, there is no need to reprogram  
the unit when power is restored. The Campus Pager can maintain this code  
for more than one year without power.  
4.4 Installing/Replacing Pager Batteries  
The individual pager is powered by two AAA batteries (not supplied). We  
recommend that you use alkaline batteries to power the pager.  
To install or replace the pager’s batteries, see Figure 4-4, and follow these  
steps:  
1. Slide the battery compartment door open.  
2. Insert two fresh alkaline batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+  
and -) marked inside the compartment.  
3. Slide the battery compartment door closed.

The pager will notify you when the batteries are getting low, by displaying  
“b” on the pager’s LED when you press the pager’s ON/OFF switch. It will  
also notify you by beeping once every fifteen seconds.  
The pager also maintains memory during a power loss, so you do not need  
to re-enter its pager code (see Section 5.3).

5. Using the Campus Pager  
This section contains operating notes for using the Campus Pager. Read these  
notes before attempting to operate the system.  
5.1 Overview  
Before operating the Campus Pager, be sure that you understand the  
following information concerning the paging system’s capabilities.  
The Campus Pager covers a maximum range of up to two miles using the  
supplied center-loaded antenna.  
This distance is based on average conditions over a line-of-sight path. This  
range may be less, depending on surrounding conditions. The Campus Pager  
sends a number (from 0-9) to one or all of the pagers. The pagers in turn  
beep and display the numbered message. Each pager has a label where you  
can write down the message you’ve established for each number. We  
recommend that you use a pencil, so the number can be easily changed at a  
later date.  
Each pager has its own pager code, which allows the Campus Pager to send  
a message to a single pager, or to ALL of your system’s pagers using the  
TRANSMIT ALL feature. You can record each of the pager codes, and their  
corresponding users on the card located under the Campus Pager. (The card  
is inside the bottom of the unit and must be pulled out from the front.) You  
can also write down the messages represented by each message code. Again,  
we recommend that you use a pencil, so the number can be easily changed at  
a later date.  
5.2 Storing the System Code  
Before you can use the Campus Pager, you must designate a system code. The  
system code ensures proper signaling between the Campus Pager and the  
pager.  
To enter and store a system code, follow these steps:  
1. Turn the Campus Pager power on.  
20  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
CAMPUS PAGER  
2. Turn the Campus Pager over and locate the system code button, which is  
inside the hole labeled SYSTEM CODE. Insert a pointed object such as a  
straightened paper clip and press the button (see Figure 5-5). The  
TRANSMIT display will show the previous system code for about one  
second, then shows ___.  
Figure 5-1. The Campus Pager system code button.  
3. Enter a three-digit system code. After about one second, the display shows  
___, and the system code is stored.  
4. If you enter a wrong code, reset it by pressing A/C, CANCEL, or the  
system code button. Then repeat Steps 2 and 3 to store the system code  
again.  
NOTE  
If your application requires more than 100 system pagers, you can use  
multiple Campus Pager systems. If using more than one Campus Pager,  
each system should have a unique system code.

CAMPUS PAGER  
5.3 Storing the Pager Code  
Before you can use the Tone Pager or Vibrating/Tone Pager, you must  
designate a pager code for each of the pagers.  
NOTE  
You must reset all pager codes when you enter a new system code.  
To enter and save a pager code, follow these steps:  
1. Turn the pager OFF.  
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch, then slide it to the ON position (see  
ON OFF  
Figure 5-2. Pager ON/OFF Switch.  
22  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
CAMPUS PAGER  
3. Make sure that the Campus Pager is turned ON, then enter a two-digit  
pager code (00-99) and then 0.  
4. Press the TRANSMIT button on the Campus Pager, and the unit will  
transmit the pager code to the pager. The pager will beep four times, and  
flash “L” on its display four times. The pager then beeps 12 times and  
simultaneously flashes 0 on its display to confirm that it received the  
message code 0.  
NOTE  
For example, if you would like the pager to have a new pager code such  
as 38, enter 380, and press TRANSMIT.  
After you press the TRANSMIT button, the Campus Pager LED flashes the  
three digits seven times, and simultaneously transmits the pager code to the  
pager. The three digits will stay lit until you perform one of the following  
actions:  
• Turn the Campus Pager OFF  
• Press A/C or CANCEL  
• Transmit a message to a pager  
Perform the preceding steps for each pager used with the Campus Pager.  
NOTE  
If the pager does not successfully store the pager code, repeat the  
preceding steps.  
5.4 Transmitting a Message Code to a Single Pager  
1. Turn the Campus Pager power ON.  
2. Press A/C or CANCEL if the display shows unwanted pager or message  
codes.  
3. Enter the two-digit code for the pager you want to receive the message,  
then the one digit message code that you want to send. If you enter the  
wrong pager or message code, press A/C or CANCEL, then re-enter the  
correct codes.  
23

NOTE  
You cannot reset either of these codes after you press the TRANSMIT  
button.  
4. Press the TRANSMIT button. The TRANSMIT display lights during  
transmission, and the pager’s display flashes the message code number  
seven times. The three digits will remain lit until you perform one of the  
following actions:  
• Turn the Campus Pager OFF  
• Press A/C or CANCEL  
• Transmit a message to a pager  
If desired, press TRANSMIT again to re-send the current message code to  
the pager.  
5. Press A/C or CANCEL, then repeat Steps 3 and 4 if you want to transmit  
another message code to another pager.  
5.5 Transmitting a Message Code to All System Pagers  
1. Turn the Campus Pager power ON.  
2. Press A/C or CANCEL if the display shows unwanted pager or message  
codes.  
3. Press ALL, then the one digit message codes that you would like to send.  
If you enter the wrong message code, press A/C or CANCEL, then re-  
enter the correct code.  
NOTE  
You cannot reset the message code after you press the TRANSMIT  
button.  
4. Press the TRANSMIT button. The TRANSMIT display lights during  
transmission, and the pager’s display flashes the message code number.

5.6 Receiving a Message Code with the Tone Pager  
When a Tone Pager is turned ON and receives a page, it sounds 12 beeps and  
flashes the received message code on its display, unless you press the  
ON/OFF button to silence the pager before it finishes beeping. The 12 beeps  
and message code display repeat about 10 seconds later. Press ON/OFF to  
silence the pager when it beeps again, or the pager beeps once about every 60  
seconds to remind you that there is a new call.  
Press ON/OFF to stop the pager from beeping every 60 seconds.  
If the message code is transmitted to all pagers, each pager repeats the 12  
beeps three times at about 30 second intervals. Press ON/OFF to silence the  
pager.  
5.7 Receiving a Message Code with the Vibrating/Tone Pager  
When a Vibrating/Tone Pager is turned ON and receives a page, it vibrates  
once and flashes the received message code on its display, unless you press  
the ON/OFF button to silence the pager before it vibrates. The pager beeps  
once every 60 seconds and allows you to view old messages from newest to  
oldest by pushing the on/off button.  
Each pager has its own pager code, which allows the system to send a  
message to a single pager, or to all of your system’s pagers using the  
TRANSMIT ALL feature. You can record each of the pager codes, and their  
corresponding users on the card located under the base unit.  
5.8 Reviewing Stored Message Codes  
The pager can store eight message codes. Repeatedly press ON/OFF to view  
the stored message codes on by one, from newest to oldest. A “-” indicates the  
end of the stored message codes.  
When the memory is full and a new message is received, the oldest message  
code is deleted from memory.  
If a newly received message code is identical to the last message received, it  
is not stored.  
All stored message codes are erased when you turn the pager OFF.
