Numeric Pager Numeric display paging sends a number to the pager unit's liquid crystal display screen. This pager unit can be used in the silent alert mode where the person carrying the pager will feel a slight vibration rather than an audible beep indicating a page has been received. The system will transmit your written message over the air. Older pager units have 3-digit pager numbers. For example, if the pager number is 033, the new number will be 0033.
Departments are responsible for the maintenance of the pagers they purchase.
The Office of Telecommunications will provide a 'Time and Materials' radio-pager repair service, but OTC cannot ensure that spare units will be available for loan while a repair is being done. See the table below for a listing of available pager units and associated costs. If the pager is not returned after a two-month period, the full purchase price of the unit will be charged to the requestor s departmental budget. A tower placed on top of the Agricultural Sciences Building at University Park has extended the range of the paging service to cover three quarters of Center County. You may now hang up.
