NOTE: Be sure to unplug the T9601 system and charging base before cleaning.
To Clean:
• Using a damp cloth, wipe the exterior of the system’s components

Programming Pagers
If a new pager number needs to be assigned to a pager, Star (SP5) and Alpha pagers can be reprogrammed
from the T9601 transmitter. If you would like to assign or reassign numbers to pagers, contact LRS to verify
your restaurant ID before proceeding.
To Program Pagers:
1. Be sure the POCSAG start is correct for programming pager types (see “Set POCSAG Start” pg. 14)
2. Pagers:
• Remove rechargeable pagers from the charger (or reset by touching the silver nodes on the
pager to the reset terminal on the transmitter) and wait until it stops vibrating
• Turn battery powered pagers on and then off (or remove and reinstall the battery) and wait until
it stops vibrating and/or beeping
4. Press PROG
5. Enter the number you wish to assign to the pager (Choose #: 1 - 999)
6. Press PROG
• Star pagers will slowly vibrate and light up then dim to off
• Alpha pagers will beep 4 times and then stop
7. Once programming is complete, page the pager to ensure it is programmed correctly
(See “Basic Paging Operations” p. 9)

Troubleshooting
Transmitter Unit
The Light On The Keypad Display Does Not Come On When A Key Is Pressed
• Check the charging power supply by plugging the power/charging supply used for the pager
charger into the transmitter unit.
• If the display light comes on, there may be a problem with the T9601 power/charging supply.
Call LRS Customer Support to order a new power supply.
• If the display still does not light, there may be a problem with the transmitter unit. Call LRS Cus-
tomer Support for assistance.
The Keypad Display Is Functioning Properly But The Pager Does Not Receive the Page
• Perform a system reset (see “System Reset” pg. 10).
• Make sure that pagers are on the same system ID (see “Set System ID” if ID is not “0”)
• Complete the steps for paging a pager (see “Paging” pg. 9).
• If the pager still does not receive the page, call LRS Customer Support for assistance.
Pagers
Pager Charge Lights Do Not Come On
Charging slots should display a single red charge light when pagers are placed in the charger, and are charg-
ing correctly. If the red charge light is not visible on some or all charging slots, review the following recom-
mendations to determine and solve the problem..
• Make sure the pagers are completely inserted into the charging slot.
• The power supply may be defective. Try plugging the power supply used for the transmitter
into the pager charger.
• You might have more pagers charging on one power supply than recommended. Only 25 pagers
can be charged on one 12V power supply. If you have more than 25 pagers, you should call LRS
to order additional chargers.
• You might have a jumper wire that is not properly connected. Look on the side of your charger
and verify that all wires are connected properly. If they are connected, then the metal contacts
on your pager may be dirty. Using a damp rag, clean the 2 metal contacts on the back of each
pager.
• Be sure that your staff is not disconnecting the power supply at anytime or that you do not have
the charger connected to a circuit that automatically shuts off after hours. The charging base
should be plugged into a power outlet that is “ON” at all times (Be sure the pager is not in the
charger backwards).
• If none of these recommendations solve your problem, call LRS Customer Support to deter-
mine the problem at 800-437-4996.

Vibration
• Star Pagers will vibrate a certain number of times depending on the vibe mode - V1, V2 or V3
that is selected from the transmitter keypad when sending a page
• Vibrations can be used to send additional information or to identify 1 of 3 stations
• By sending messages using vibrations, the person being paged will not have to look down to
see the lights display, instead the vibrations will let them know what station the page came from
Example: V1 = Station 1, V2 = Station 2, V3 = Station 3
To set vibration – see p.10
LED Messaging
• The LED lights located on the front of the Star pager can be used to represent Station ID’s in lo-
cations where more than one T9601 transmitter is being used
• Each T9601 transmitter in use represents a “Station ID”
• When a page is sent, the LED lights, letting staff know which transmitter (Station ID) the page
came from
Example:
• LED 1 lights = Station 1
• LED 2 lights = Station 2
• LED 1 & 4 light = Station 5
To set LED messaging – see p.11

Cleaning & Charging Instructions For LRS Paging Equipment
Cleaning:
LRS pagers are made from industrial-strength, polycarbonate material. However, this
material is susceptible to hairline cracking if non-approved cleaners are used. When clean-
ing LRS pagers, we recommend only using ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL-BASED CLEANERS.
To clean the equipment:
1. Take a clean rag and an isopropyl-alcohol based cleaner
2. Soak the clean rag with the isopropyl alcohol cleaner
3. Wipe down the pagers or equipment.
Cleaning equipment with any other non-approved cleaners can weaken plastic and
cause hairline cracks. Pagers and equipment that are cleaned with unapproved clean-
ers and suffer cracking will not be covered under warranty.
Do not submerge any LRS paging equipment in any type of liquid as this will also dam-
age the equipment and is not covered under the standard warranty.
Charging:
Place rechargeable pagers on the charger and let them charge for 8 hours prior to first use.
Rechargeable pagers should be kept on charge even during extremely long periods of
inactivity.
Only 12 VDC power supplies should be used with LRS chargers and transmitters. DC
power supplies will cause damage to equipment that is not covered under the standard
warranty.
Should you have any questions, please contact the LRS Customer Service Department
at 800.437.4996.
