When the Gearstar is initially powered on, the red Power LED will flash at regular intervals but will change to a ¼ second flash rate when a low battery condition is detected. All pager alerts will then change to an alert length of 1 second. Audible and vibrating alerts can be stopped by the user by pressing the Reset button, but if configured, the red LED’s will continue to flash until the pager returns to the charger base.
The Gearstar can be programmed to alert the user when leaving the coverage area of the paging system by giving an Out of Range indication. Other programmable features include the alert type for the Out of Range indication – beep, vibrate, or flashing LED, and the length of time the pager will alert when out of range.
