Pressing spacebar stops them.Ġ0: RX0 Pressing Enter activates this, pulling 58 mA and displays a number 1142. The ranges of numbers for some of these modes are from 0000 to 4095 Pressing enter activates these modes. Within the menu right at the first mode of 00: RX0 the device is powered by 1.60v 22 mA I have this powered by my bench power supply, so anytime I get in one of these modes, I have the ability to see if it's drawing more current than normal, like transmitting or in constant RX/TX mode. Some of these are total guesses based on me playing with this for a while. Listing all the options I see in order with some additional notes on my discoveries.

I press a bunch of keys in each screen above and nothing happens.Ĭ) Self Test Mode This displays the same thing as software version on a) above then when you press the right arrow key it changes to a new screen. In this menu it doesn't appear any other key presses do anything. Dc:3825 and scale:b100 Pressing down again shows the word LATE on the middle of the screen Also "afc" and "cyc" on the right hand side. ReFLEX Pager Hst: R0200-8059 PL00 DSP: r0302-45DB PL01ī) DSP Diagnostics It says "Diagnostics Start Please wait" Pressing down shows "why wht frm" on the right hand side Pressing down again shows "uer frm" on the right hand side Pressing down again shows some bar graphs on the screen with B D and 1 under them.

#Activate motorola pager serial number#
"M36B0 R50" then the device serial number which is on the back. Again only guesses based on this old tech. The DSP is either a "Digital Signal Processing" version? Or perhaps a display/screen version. I'm guessing that the M36B0 is some type of model/type of modulation, R50 is most likely ReFlex50 protocol. Self Test ModeĪ) Software version In the menu four lines are displayed. Hit enter and you are presented with three options a. Hit enter to get in the menu and scroll down to the very bottom a new option appears called Diagnostics But you don't need that type of negativity in your life. This remains when you power off the device. You notice a what appears to be an icon of a pager appearing on the screen. As of writing this, user DrDeke on LibraChat mentioned something similar happens when typing in "drago" This appears to be a temporary way to enter debug mode without actually enabling it on the pager after restart.Īt the main screen when the device is powered on simply type in "slayer" lower case works. Good thing I did because knowing the current draw when the device does things turned out to be pretty helpful.Īfter trying to understand what the hell happens when you type in "slayer" I saw what happens. After scrambling a bit to find a dumbass AA Battery to put in my pager I had to get my bench power supply and wire it up. I found this link and user Kv5e posted a comment "Type in SLAYER on the keyboard and see what happens"……………….

I discovered this interesting bit of info last night whilst googling. Maybe it was just coincidental timing… either way, take a look I also suggest you take a look at two well written articles DmitriiElj has created. It seems like my "decoding multiple pager transmissions at once" sparked some interest. User DmitriiElj and I were chatting a week or two back on pagers.
