I am a junior firefighter at my local department. Whenever I hear the fateful sound from my pager my heart skips a beat.

[@marylandsirensfirebuff9664]

lol

[@TexasFire_Cross]

Thanks for the detailed vid. I was issued the IV last week with only brief instructions. Nothing about the modes, reset button, how the charger works, or even the pager coverage area. Mostly learned from internet searches and videos. Thanks

[@Junior716]

Just got my pager about 2 weeks ago. This was helpful, thank you

[@myleschiarello]

When I got my pager, I got it straight out of the box so it came with a backup battery. I always keep a battery on the charger and just swap it out when the low battery alert goes off. And for overnight, I keep it right by my bedside. Pager lasts for about 3 days on a full charge.

[@myleschiarello]

I usually switch it out during the day, when the low alarm goes off. I never have to have it sitting in the charger.

[@ryansnags33]

Why does mine sometimes go off in night and sometimes does not when I get a call? But during the day it always works

[@michaellivingston001]

How can I program it by myself without having somebody do it for me

[@Ca31_Buff]

I have this same pager. Takes less then an hour to fuller charge and lasts 4-6 days

[@hotelexplorer6350]

Nice pager

[@chambersjamal7358]

As a junior volunteer firefighter sometimes ill be sleeping at night and when the pager goes off i jump out of bed lol

[@ZachSloan]

How else are you supposed to get moving without getting out of bed 🤔

[@richardcox4155]

[@frankmoyer9337]

What happens when they get wet by water or sweat and how do you fix the issue

[@richardcox1364]

B&C considering as channel 1 & 2 open?

[@ChasRize]

My monitor 4 pager has triple a batteries and it lasts at least a month on a full battery

[@hotelexplorer6350]

[@brandonlambert7155]

What does it mean when the light is orange beside pager on the desktop charger?

[@Robert-fm7cf]

[@davidvaughan87]

you said nothing about playback mode

[@richardcox1364]

Minitor iv pager take 2 AAA batteries or what? And dose it have to be rechargeable battery?

[@NX-gw7wg]

They do come with rechargeable ones from the factory but you can also use regular AAAs.

[@michaeldim1]

"Alert you can here"

[@castillian1]

Anyone can listen to radio traffic.

[@Mike6867]

What does the reset button do

[@gregktm]

+Mike Hamilton It resets the pager back to "closed" after an alert. Also, press it to see battery life indicated by the 3 green led's. 3 is full battery, 2 or 1 when low.

[@mryesterday254]

I have a Motorola minitor I have to change the back on it,how do I take it apart

[@b2theherb]

@@gregktm What does closed mean?

[@gregktm]

@@b2theherb not in monitor mode. You only hear when your departments tones drop.

[@castillian1]

You find out what channel your area uses and buy radio chrystals for that frequency and take minitor apart and add chrystals and your good to go.

[@cohenreynolds3955]

I have minitor iv and it isnt programmed yet and I am 17 and not in a department yet how can I hear radio traffic on it?

[@owenvancleef8612]

You have to be part of a department to hear their traffic and so you chief or battalion Chief would help you set it up

[@Tractorandsirens]

cohen reynolds I’m not on a fd i have a few pagers and I can program them

[@joelmorris6712]

Not all inclusive.
