 ====== Alphapoc 602R ======
+===== WARNING =====
+**Programming software version 3.22 has a bug that limits ALL text messages received by the pager to 45 characters. Fixed in Version 3.24, see parameter TEXT LENGTH.**
 ===== Overview =====
-The Alphapoc is a portable paging receiver for POCSAG. It is avaiable at [[http://alphapoc.com/product_info.php?products_id=172|http://alphapoc.com/]]. The relevant version of the product is **X4**.

-===== Basic fundamentals on RIC asssigment for Alphapoc =====
+===== Basic fundamentals on RIC assigment for Alphapoc =====
 As the AlphaPoc receivers don't have a predefined RIC, so the RIC will be assigned by the DAPNET support team, normally based on the existing CCS7 / DMR ID system. The POCSAG addresses are limited to 2^21 = 2097152, so IDs greater than the limit have to be shortened. It is not necessary to have a CCS7 / DMR ID to register a reciever on DAPNET.
-The reception of the rubrics originally designed for [[skyperdescription|Skyper]] described [[rubricactivationskyper|here]] is not as convinient on the Alphapoc as on the Skyper. But there is a workaround: The rubrics are transmitted in both Skyper format and as personal messages. The RIC used for the rubrics for this purpose is 1000 + <RUBIC Number>. So rubric number 42 is RIC 1042. You can assign up to 8 POCSAG addresses (RICs), on your Alphapoc that it listen to. It is convinient to programm you personal RIC and besides the RIC of up to 7 rubrics. So you can still receive the rubics content on the Alphapoc. A mayor drawback is, that the Alphapoc will not distinguish between thoses and really personal messages, filling up your display quite fast.

+How to know the rubrics and their numbers?
 Log in to the DAPNET Web Interface on [[http://hampager.de/#/rubrics|http://hampager.de/#/rubrics]] and look them up. Be aware the not all numbers from 1 to 99 are present and that several rubrics are assigned to a local limited transmitter group.

 ===== Over-The-Air Programming of Time and Date  =====
-The AlphaPoc pagers (tested with AlphaPoc 602R X4 model) support setting time and date as broadcasted by DAPNET. <del>You need to configure the 8th RIC of your pager with RIC 165866 function D / alpha.</del> With the update of October 30th RICs have changed. You choose between UTC and local time. For UTC you have to use RIC 216 function D / alpha for UTC time or RIC 224 function D / alpha for local time. Afterwards time and date should be set automatically as soon as the OTA message is transmitted (currently happening every two minutes).

+===== Handling RICs  =====
+As the alphapoc pager doesn’t support rubrics (like the skyper pager), the data is transmitted via a RIC address, e.g. for weather RIC 1080.
+The messages are handled like private messages and so they fill up the memory/display. A possible solution: If you change the RIC type from „private“ to „group“, the latest message will be kept and the other (same) messages will be overwritten.
+To change the type of a RIC, you have to use the programming software. Please be aware, that only the RIC addresses 5 to 8 can be changed from „private“ to „group“.
+{{ :alphapoc:alphapoc:ricgroup.png?400 |}}
+Group messages have also another symbol on the pager display, see below:
+{{ :alphapoc:alphapoc:alphapoc-groupmsg.jpg?400 |}}
+You can use this opportunity to change the tone for the RIC to „disable“, if you prefer no sound on receiving rubric messages.
+===== empty battery indicator  =====
+{{:alphapoc:emptybattery.jpg|}}
+If the battery is empty, the "empty battery" icon appears, an audio alert beeps and **no further messages** will be received.
+===== Mute time functionality =====
+To set a certain time frame where the pager should be kept completely silent, the following setting can be adjusted to personal needs:
