Description
$379 - Minitor VI (6) pager by Motorola. Add to Wish List. Compare this Product. Used Minitor V pager. Swissphone LCD assembly for the DE pagers. Fits ONLY the DE900 or the DE920. The LCD's are not. Add to Wish List. Compare this Product. This module enables remote programming of pager. Swissphone has expanded its s.ONE software solution with an additional module, s.ONE Fleet. This provides for fast updates and centralised management of pager data such as RIC addresses or keys. The pagers are programmed over TCP/IP via remote configuration. During an event we get directed to a differnt fire ground then the main channel. While I was in Europe the department I was on switched from Motorola's to the Swiss Phone Quattro. I carried the pager for approx 4 years before I left. I never babied it and found that the pager was more than durable and extremely reliable.
Our pager guy is test-driving a Swissphone pager for possible use. From my experience with it, I worry that the Swissphone might be smarter than some of the people that will be using it. More importantly, though, is that the Swissphone will not trip on our tones when they are sent through the repeater.
Right from the start, you can see that this pager does not look like any other pager on the market.
Measuring in at only 3.19″ high, 2.52″ wide, and 0.87″ deep, it is one of the smallest pagers on the market. And weighing only 3.81 ounces (less than 0.25 pounds), this is one pager you won’t mind wearing on your belt all day. In fact, this is one pager you won’t notice on your belt due to its very thin design.
The pager runs on a single AA battery, and the weight specification include the battery! Swissphone’s test show the pager will last up to 160 hours on a single charge, when Bluetooth is off and Economy mode is enabled.
The Swissphone s.Quad Voice Pager is a full featured pager is a small package. Don’t let the size of this pager fool you.
With 16 minutes of stored voice, a loud 90dB alert, and a 5 line display, this pager gives you all the information you need about your call right at your fingertips. With only 4 buttons on this unit, it is very simple to use.
The s.Quad Voice Pager’s display measures 146 x 128 pixels and is a monochrome with back light display.
There is also an alert LED inside the Escape key, which can be programmed for multiple color alert patters and act as a message waiting indicator.
The unit ships as a single frequency pager, but an optional Multi-Channel (scanner) upgrade is available for a very affordable rate.
The s.Quad Voice also comes with Bluetooth and will sync to a smart phone with optional s.Quad iPhone or Android Software, and adds another layer of call delivery via the s.ONE paging application.
The Swissphone s.Quad Voice pager is IP-67 rated. What exactly does this mean? The number 6 in the rating means the s.Quad Voice is dust tight. It is the highest possible dust rating in the industry. The 7 in the IP rating means the s.Quad Voice will withstand sitting in water for up to 30 minutes at 3 feet deep. So unlike some other pagers that might fail with the slightest contact with water, this pager will survive the rain, wet conditions, and an accidental drop in the pool (or any other shallow body of water)
In addition to industry standard IP rating, Swissphone has performed drop tests on the s.Quad voice, and it easily survives 6.5 feet drops on concrete.
The s.Quad Voice ships to you with a full 2 year warranty.
If you wanted to extend the factory warranty, you may purchase a 3 year, 4 year, or 5 year warranty at the time of purchase. The extended warranties must be purchased at the same time you order your pager, and are calculated by total warranty length. Ex, a 3 year warranty is 3 years from the date of purchase, not 3 years on top of the 2 year factory warranty.

Just my 2 cents,
Swissphone pagers ~$400
Motorola Page-able radio: ~$325
A radio in the hands of every responder: Well, that's a can of worms for you to figure out.
Whatever you think, it is probably worth a side by side comparison.

The problem is our county doesnt exactly approve of everyone to have a radio.
If disciplined radio traffic were possible then I would go radio...BUT, we all know that will never happen and we sure as hell don't need every person with radio talking just to hear themselves talk...Tne pagers are just fine for now...
I have a V now and its alright but so many have had problems. I loved my III that thing could survive a nuclear holocaust.
The idea of everyone having a radio is great. but the way our county is set up we wouldnt have enough radio ID numbers.
Swiss Phone Fire Pagers
Well its time for a change, in our county first 1 or 2 digits are Dept number followed by radio unit. ie: 264 is me. In both depts that I have been in radios are in most POVs we use a separate DPW freq to check in in route to station or direct leaving main channel for cheif to communicate with central. Works great we know proper equipment is getting to scene. We have 2 stations and large area to cover.
We have the Minitor V in our Dept and I have had mine for almost a year and so far I love it. the signal reception in our area is really great.
Fire Pagers
we got the v's and a radio each, I seem to get odd useless static alot on my V, but its handy to carry around when you dont want to lug around a $3000.00 radio. also we never seem to have radio traffic issues between the other 17 departments in our county. During an event we get directed to a differnt fire ground then the main channel.
Who is doing the programming?
We had similar issues at first, but a minor change in the settings, (squelch I think) and we've quit having issues. Occasionally mine will chirp, but this is a rare occurrence.

We have the Minitor II, III, and V in use. Everyone that has or has had a II says it is the best for reception.
I have a 'V' and my wife has a 'III', they both work well so far (except for the III's batteries dieing without warning - hence the pagable Uniden-Bearcat scanner as backup in the house when I am not home with my V).
There are some members that have had reception problems, but it seems to be related to tower coverage and signal penetration and not the pagers themselves so much.
We have a variety of portable radios around, none of them pageable that I know of... but they never have trouble holding the repeater when being used.
Would be nice to hear from a swissphone pager user on the topic...

Seth,
At the present time I am carrying a duel channel Motorola V and have had issues with the charging base but none with the pager. While I was in Europe the department I was on switched from Motorola's to the Swiss Phone Quattro. I carried the pager for approx 4 years before I left. I never babied it and found that the pager was more than durable and extremely reliable. It seemed to have better reception than our previous pagers, it was of a size and shape that made it easy to carry, it is very loud with a good quality speaker, has several channels which can be programed for different groups, there are different tones available for each of the channels and the battery life was in my opinion exceptional. Both are quality pagers but as a personal preference I would rather have the Swiss Phone.
