Motorola's Minitor series of tone pagers are used by fire departments and other organizations needing to notify individuals of incidents over radio. The pager tones trigger the radio. The latest Minitor V two-tone pager is voice compatible, and available in UHF and VHF. It stores voice, so if a user misses the page, the user can listen to it later. The device is programmed by the user's department with specific frequencies and tones. Using a Motorola Minitor V can be performed by following a few steps.
Instructions
1. Set the "Function" switch to a tone-alert position to place the Minitor into alert monitor status. Rotate the On/Off Switch/Volume knob clockwise to turn on the Mintor on. You will hear eight short beeps and both lights will illuminate.
2. Move the "Function" switch to a simple monitor position. For example, a fire dispatch channel. Listen for traffic and adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
3. Set the "Function" switch to a function position such as selective call tone, selective call vibrate, monitor or scan. These function positions will be preset by your department, and can include monitoring a frequency for predefined tones and then sounding beeps, vibrating, beeping and vibrating, or simply playing and recording. Positions can include simple monitoring. For example, set the "Function" switch to "Position 1" to monitor Fire Dispatch silently, when the tones are heard by the radio, the loudspeaker will open and any traffic will be heard live and also recorded.
4. Leave the pager once set, to monitor traffic and listen for pages. Depending on how the Function is programmed, the radio will open the speaker and you'll hear the traffic. If you miss the traffic, listen for periodic beeps which indicate the Motorola Minitor V has recorded the traffic. Press the Playback button to listen to the recording.
