Anti Theft Mode

Anti Theft is a manual function that must be repeated every 10 seconds to prevent pagers from sounding. If the pagers do not receive a valid page signal within 20 seconds, they will sound.

Turn Anti Theft On

To turn Anti Theft on, send out the code CPG,1018,80,3.

For POCSAG pagers, use command PAGE,0,sysid,[0], where sysid is the system id being used by the pagers.

Turn Anti Theft Off

To turn Anti Theft off, send out the code CPG,0,0,3.

For POCSAG pagers, use command PAGE,0,sysid,[1], where sysid is the system id being used by the pagers

Operation

Once activated, any valid page will reset the timer in the pagers and they will not beep. Valid pages are a repeat of the CPG,1018,80,3 code or a page to another pager with Volume+Value adding 80hex to the page code (e.g., CPG,45,8A,3 for pager 45, flash 1 second, power level 3).

If no valid page is sent within the 10 second window, the CPG,1018,80,3 code must be sent. If Anti Theft is to be discontinued, use the code CPG,0,0,3 (all page, disable Anti Theft, power level 3). POCSAG pagers need individual pages about once every 15 seconds with the "on" message [0] to reset their internal timer.
