 You need an interface that supplies 3v0 to the pager to activate its programming mode. A small SMD PCB that fits into a DB9 connector case is described here: https://​github.com/​dk4pa/​SKYPER_PROGRAMMER. Power is drawn from a USB port and converted to 3v0. A small amount of PCBs is available at cost from the authors. Please contact DK4PA or DF2ET. The Skyper has a programming interface which is located inside the battery compartment. It requires the wiring of GND, 3v0 as well as RX/TX lines. All experiments to build some sort of plug failed so far. Thus we normally solder the 4 wires to the pads after opening the case. You need an interface that supplies 3v0 to the pager to activate its programming mode.

 +===== Removing the display from the case =====
 +
 +The display is mounted in the case with clips. You can use a small screwdriver to *carefully* pull away the case from the display and lift the display (each side after each other)

 +===== Preset of display contrast =====
 +
 +Have you ever asked yourself what this tiny trimpot on the rear side of the display board does?
 +
 +Well if your display is working fine and contrast setting can be done via setup menu there is 
 +probably no need to.
 +
 +The initial setting was done by the manufacturer and normally this should work all right.
 +
 +Turning this trimpot clockwise will increase display contrast while turning counterclockwise will decrease contrast.
 +Please be aware that this is a very coarse setting. The fine adjustment is done in the Skyper setup menu using the up and down keys.
