3For the safety of yourself and others:Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. You must obey all operatingrequirements posted or announced for two-way radio, mobile phones and two-way pagers.In common with all two-way pagers, the AR1800 incorporates a low power transmitter. When the pager isswitched ON the transmitter will periodically transmit to post replies and maintain a link with your serviceprovider’s network. Compared with most other mobile equipment the transmitter uses low power (150 milli-W)and only operates periodically for a short duration (around160 milli-seconds).Planes, Hospitals and Other AreasSwitch OFF your pager whilst near medical equipment, within healthcare and Hospital facilities and whilst onboard any aircraft. Switch OFF your pager when entering a blasting area. Avoid bringing your pager into areaswhere the atmosphere may contain explosive gasses or particles.Lanyard/ChainOnly use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. The lanyard (or chain), if supplied with yourpager, is for securing your pager only and for no other purpose. It is possible that in certain circumstances it couldcause injury if used otherwise.ServicingRefer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Contact your service provider for more information.FCC Compliance StatementThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does notcause harmful interference.

26Auto Data Play (ADP) AlertsWhen a Folder alert is set to ADP the pager will try to use themessage just received as if it were an alert. It does this bysearching the message for a sequence of digits, (such as atelephone number), using the digits to represent the tempo,repetition and notes of an alert. Frequently receivedmessages, e.g. a voice mail telephone number, can beidentified purely by the melody that they generate.If the sequence is less than 5 digits a chirp is producedinstead.A sequence of up to 40 digits can be interpreted as a melody.If you like what you hear, that sequence can be saved as amelody for later use.00 01 02 03 04 05 06 08 09 10 11 12 13 1516 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 25 26 27 28 29 3132 33 34 35 36 37 38 40 41 42 43 44 45 4748 49 50 51 52 53 54 56 57 58 59 60 61 6307 1423 3039 4655 62The AR1800 interprets number sequences this way:• The first digit sets the tempo of the melody(1= slow, 9= fast)• The second digit sets the number of repeats; the minimumnumber of repeats is 5.• The remaining digits are used in pairs to represent notes asshown in the table below:
