For the safety of yourself and others:
Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. You must obey all operating
requirements 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 is
switched ON the transmitter will periodically transmit to post replies and maintain a link with your service
provider’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 Areas
Switch OFF your pager whilst near medical equipment, within healthcare and Hospital facilities and whilst on
board any aircraft. Switch OFF your pager when entering a blasting area. Avoid bringing your pager into areas
where the atmosphere may contain explosive gasses or particles.
Lanyard/Chain
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. The lanyard (or chain), if supplied with your
pager, is for securing your pager only and for no other purpose. It is possible that in certain circumstances it could
cause injury if used otherwise.
Servicing
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Contact your service provider for more information.
FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference.

Auto Data Play (ADP) Alerts
When a Folder alert is set to ADP the pager will try to use the
message just received as if it were an alert. It does this by
searching the message for a sequence of digits, (such as a
telephone number), using the digits to represent the tempo,
repetition and notes of an alert. Frequently received
messages, e.g. a voice mail telephone number, can be
identified purely by the melody that they generate.
If the sequence is less than 5 digits a chirp is produced
instead.
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 a
melody for later use.

The 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 minimum
number of repeats is 5.
• The remaining digits are used in pairs to represent notes as
shown in the table below:
