Pagers

Pagers, also known as Beepers/Pagers, are one-way communication devices that are capable of receiving short messages. Users usually dial a paging center through a fixed telephone number and enter the information they want to send to the pager holder, which is then transmitted to the target pager.

Structure of a Pager


Its basic structure includes the following parts:

  • Antenna: used to receive radio signals.


  • RF receiving circuit: converts the received radio signal into a usable electrical signal.


  • Mixer: mixes the received signal with the signal generated by the local oscillator in order to convert the received signal into an intermediate frequency signal.


  • Intermediate frequency amplifier: amplifies the intermediate frequency signal to make it easier to process.


  • Demodulator: demodulates the intermediate frequency signal into a baseband signal.


  • Decoder: converts the demodulated baseband signal into meaningful information.


  • Microprocessor: controls the operation of the entire system, including the decoder and other peripherals.


  • Display module: displays the received information.


  • Battery and power supply circuit: provides the necessary power supply.


  • Vibrator or speaker: emits a sound to remind the user that a message has been received.

Technical features of pagers


1. Working principle


  • Receiving signals: The pager receives signals from the base station via radio waves. When the user receives a message, the pager emits a tone or vibrates and displays relevant information.


  • One-way communication: The pager can only receive messages, not send them. The user needs to reply to the message through a landline or other means.

2. Types


  • Analog pagers: Early pagers used analog signals to transmit information and usually could only display simple numeric codes.


  • Digital pagers: With the development of technology, digital pagers appeared, which can display more complex information, such as text and symbols.


  • Dual-band pagers: Pagers that support two different frequencies can be used in different networks, improving coverage and reliability.

3. Functions


  • Display information: The most basic pagers can only display numeric codes, and advanced digital pagers can display text and symbols.


  • Reminder function: Remind users of new messages through sound, vibration or light.


  • Storage function: Some pagers have the function of storing multiple messages, which is convenient for users to view and manage.

Application scenarios of pagers


1. Business field


  • Business communication: Business people use pagers for instant communication to improve work efficiency.


  • Customer service: Enterprises use pagers to keep in touch with customers and provide timely services.


2. Medical field


  • Emergency call: Doctors and nurses use pagers to receive emergency calls to ensure timely response.


  • Internal communication: Hospitals use pagers for efficient internal communication to improve work efficiency.


3. Public service


  • Police work: Police use pagers to receive alarm information and respond quickly.


  • Fire rescue: Firefighters receive fire alarm information through pagers and go out quickly.


What is the battery of the pager like?


Battery type

1. Disposable battery


Alkaline battery: The most common is disposable alkaline battery, such as AAA or AA battery. These batteries have high energy density and long service life.


Features:


  • High energy density: Provides stable voltage output, suitable for long-term use.


  • Low cost: Relatively cheap and easy to buy.


  • Environmental protection: It does not contain mercury and lead, and is environmentally friendly.

2. Rechargeable battery


Nickel-cadmium battery (NiCd): One of the rechargeable batteries used in early pagers.


Nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH): Later gradually replaced nickel-cadmium batteries, with higher energy density and longer cycle life.


Features:


  • Reusable: It can be recharged and used multiple times through a charger to reduce waste.


  • Higher capacity: Especially nickel-metal hydride batteries, which have higher energy density.


  • Memory effect: Nickel-cadmium batteries have a memory effect and need to be fully discharged regularly before being recharged; the memory effect of nickel-metal hydride batteries is smaller.

Battery specifications

1. Common specifications

  • AAA battery: 10.5 mm in diameter and 44.5 mm in height.


  • AA battery: 14.5 mm in diameter and 50.5 mm in height.


  • : Some pagers use special small batteries, such as CR2032 button batteries, which are 20 mm in diameter and 3.2 mm thick.


Pagers usually use small, portable and long-life batteries to ensure that the device can continue to operate for a long time.


2.Battery life

  • Disposable alkaline batteries: Under normal use conditions, the performance lasts from a few weeks to a few months.


  • Rechargeable batteries: Each full charge can last from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the usage and battery capacity.

How to replace the dead pager battery and what precautions should be taken?


Battery replacement steps

  1. Prepare tools: Screwdriver (if you need to remove the shell).
  2. Open the battery compartment: There is usually a battery compartment cover on the back of the pager, which can be gently opened with your fingers or a small tool.
  3. Remove the old battery: Carefully remove the old battery, taking care not to damage the contact points in the battery compartment.
  4. Install the new battery: Place the new battery in the battery compartment in the correct polarity direction, making sure the positive and negative poles correspond correctly.
  5. Close the battery compartment: Replace the battery compartment cover and make sure it is secure.

Precautions for replacing batteries

  1. Correct polarity: Make sure that the positive and negative poles of the battery are in the correct direction, otherwise the device may not work properly.
  2. Clean the contact points: Clean the contact points in the battery compartment regularly to prevent corrosion and oxidation.
  3. Avoid short circuits: Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals to avoid short circuits.


The batteries in pagers are usually small disposable alkaline batteries or rechargeable batteries such as nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride batteries. These batteries have high energy density and long service life, which can meet the needs of pager use.
