The Sceptar VHF series synthesized pager is a highly reliable, extremely compact receiver for tone and voice paging and channel monitoring applications. The Sceptar is also compatible with most tone and voice paging systems. The pager is equipped with a built-in speaker, antenna, and telescoping antenna.

The paging receiver is housed in a durable case with all operating controls conveniently mounted on the top and side of the case, except for the channel switch located in a recessed area on the bottom of the pager. This is to prevent accidental changing of the operating or priority channel.

A single "AA" NiCd battery that fits in a separate battery compartment in the rear section of the case normally supplies power for the pager. A NiMH rechargeable battery, an Alkaline, or a Mercury battery can also operate the pager if desired.

The pager is equipped with a circuit to prevent attempts to charge an Alkaline or Mercury battery.

The removable clip assembly provided on the pager is used to clip the pager to a pocket or belt. The clip can be removed for replacement or carrying the pager in a shirt pocket or purse.
