+ | Compared to the [[alphapocdescription|Alphapoc 602R]], the build quality appears good and gives the pager a noticeably more solid/substantial feel. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Features/Accessories ===== | ||
+ | The pager is powered by a single AAA battery and ships with a belt holster/clip and chain. Unfortunately, the belt holster/clip does not protect the display and the pager cannot be inserted into the holster/clip in an orientation where the display is protected from nicks and scratches. | ||
+ | |||
+ | OTA programming and/or time synchronization is not supported however the backup battery retains programming, settings, date/time, and messages during a battery change and frequency/RIC programming is retained even if the battery is removed for several weeks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The pager features several alert tones as well as a vibrate function and also supports a clock alarm as well as an auto-sleep function to suppress alerts during a defined interval. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Programming ===== | ||
+ | ==== Front-Panel Programming ==== | ||
+ | Front-panel programming can be accomplished by removing the battery, holding the leftmost button, and inserting the battery while keeping the button pressed for 5 seconds to allow for programming of frequency and RICs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Programming via this method will reset other settings such as the current date/time, stored messages, zoom, and alert settings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ apollo:ric_programming.jpg?400 }} | ||
+ | |||
+ | RIC/CAPCODEs can be enabled/disabled on an individual basis. The four characters following the RIC assign one of the following functions: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |AAAA|Alphanumeric| | ||
+ | |NNNN|Numeric| | ||
+ | |TTTT|Tone Only| | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Software Programming ==== | ||
+ | A separate programming cradle and programming software is available but has not been tested; documentation for other pagers from the same manufacturer describes additional features/settings that can be enabled via software such as an out-of-range indicator and the assignment of RICs to personal/mailbox/group category with each category having its own alert method. |
