							3.6VDC NiMH battery pack 
The battery lock is on the rear next to the belt clip. The lock can be 
very stiff and difficult to move.  
The battery  must be locked or it will not stay securely attached to 
the pager.   
						

							General charging and usage 
•A fully charged battery will run the pager for several days 
under normal conditions.  
• The NiMH rechargeable battery is rated for 500 charge 
cycles. Based on a full discharge and recharge.  
• There is a battery level indicator on the top of the pager 
between the knobs. Press the reset button to display the 
current battery level.  
•To achieve the longest possible 
battery life, do not charge the battery 
every evening. With a healthy battery, 
charging every other day is sufficient. 
It may be possible to go several days 
between charges under light usage.  
• Motorola product literature actually 
lists a 10 day battery life.  
  
						

							DES Policy change 
Chester County Department of Emergency Services 
is now allowing agencies to make programming 
changes to pagers owned by the county.  
The Minitor V programming software is available free of charge from 
Motorola’s Web site. 
 
If an agency desires to make programming changes to its pagers, it 
is their responsibility to acquire the programming dock and cable.  
 
Should changes in programming made by a department cause the 
pager to not function properly and require DES to reprogram the 
unit, service charges may apply.

Minitor V Programming 
If your agency previously had CCDES program your 
departments pagers in a custom configuration, the newly 
issued Minitor V pagers you receive will mirror that same 
configuration.   
I.e. - Some departments wanted vibrate on “B”.  
If your agency made programming changes that CCDES was 
not aware of, the new pagers will not have those programming 
options. 
Responders that have multiple station affiliations will need to 
have additional tones added to their pager from the primary 
agency. One responder should only have one pager, regardless 
of how many stations they respond with .
