Prior to any VS2500 programming, make sure all the connections to power and the external (if
used) transmitter are done properly. Refer to the installation section for more details.
The VS2500 menu screens that require data entry are made up of a series of visual prompts.
The prompt for each field appears on the top line of each screen.
The page menu appears soon after the VS2500 is turned on. The menu, shown below, is used
for sending a page to a pager or accessing the Programming and Administration Menus.
Enter a pager number to send a page
Press the corresponding letter key to advance to each of the Menus.
When entering the pager number, the leading zeros can be ignored. For instance, to page
pager #002, you can enter 002, 02 or 2. Any of the three will alert pager 002 in the database. If
the leading zeros are not entered, the # key must be entered after the pager number. After
entering the pager number, the next screen will automatically display:
If the pager is a numeric pager, you may enter up to a 16-digit numeric message now. A 16-
digit message will be sent automatically upon entering the 16th digit. If less than 16-digits are
entered, you must press the # key to send your message. If the pager is a tone only/vibrate
only pager, the page will be sent immediately after entering the pager number.
If your VS2500 unit has the optional Page by Phone feature, the paging process is as follows:
1. Call the VS2500 paging system analog extension from any standard touch-tone
telephone.
2. When the system answers you will hear the voice prompt “Enter Pager Number”. After the
voice prompt, enter the pager number.
3. If the pager type is numeric or alphanumeric, you will hear a second voice prompt “Enter
Message” The user may enter a numeric message using the telephone keypad. If this is a
tone only pager, you will hear “page sent” because no data entry is needed.
