Introduction
This pager receiver is part of the Visit smart home system that helps you to keep tabs on your home. It alerts you with gentle vibrations when the doorbell or telephone rings, when your baby needs you or if a fire should occur. Please read through the entire user manual before you start using the pager.
Getting started
1 Open the battery cover, fit the battery and close the cover again.
Attach the pager to your belt using the belt clip. For extra security, use the
supplied safety cord.
2 To test the radio link you need a Visit transmitter. Press the test button/s on the transmitter.
3 The pager starts to vibrate and lights up a Visit LED. If a bed shaker is connected during charging, it will vibrate. If nothing happens, see Troubleshooting.
Default signal pattern
When a transmitter is activated, the pager lights up a Visit LED and starts to vibrate with a certain pace. This is called signal pattern. The transmitters determine the signal pattern, and the default is as follows:
Activated transmitter| Pager LED colour| Vibration, BE1470|
Vibration, BE1230
---|---|---|---
• Door transmitter| Green| Slow | Slow
• Push button transmitter| Green| Slow | Slow
• Telephone transmitter| Yellow| Medium | Slow
• Baby monitor| Orange| Fast | Fast
• Smoke alarm| Red| Long | Long
Changing the signal pattern
The signal pattern can only be changed on the transmitters.
See the Installer’s guide in the transmitter user manual.
Replacing the battery
When the battery LED starts to blink in yellow, the battery is nearly depleted. Here is how you replace it:
- Open the battery cover and press the battery eject button to remove the old battery. Insert a new 1.5 V AAA type alkaline battery, see the battery compartment for correct positioning.
Changing the front label
If you want to use Visit for other purposes, the pager front label can be replaced. Here is how it’s done:
- Open the battery cover, replace the original label with the customized one and close the cover again.
Accessories
The pager can be complemented with the following accessories:
-
BE1260 Pager charger
Charges your pager during the night. Place it on the bedside table and connect up to two bed shakers. Please note that the pager will not vibrate when it’s charging, but the Visit LEDs will act as usual. -
BE1270 Bed shaker
Wakes you with vibrations if anything happens while you are asleep. Connect it to the pager charger and slide it under your pillow or mattress.
Warning! When using the pager charger ONLY USE RECHARGEABLE NiMH BATTERIES in the pager. Non-rechargeable batteries will start to leak if the pager is placed in the charger and the battery acid will damage the electronics. The resulting damage is not covered by warranty.
Changing the radio key
If a neighbor also has a Visit system, you can change the radio key so that your systems don’t interfere. The radio key is changed on the transmitters and must be set to the same position on all units in the system.
Here is how you change the radio key
1 Open the transmitter cover and move any radio key switch/es to the up=on position to change the radio key. See the transmitter user manual for further information.
2 Press and hold the function button on the pager until the green and yellow LEDs blink alternately. Release the button.
3 Press the test button/s on the transmitter within 30 seconds to send the new radio key.
4 All Visit LEDs blink 5 times to show that the radio key has been changed. It then returns to normal mode.
Advanced programming
By using advanced programming, you can customize the signal pattern from a specific transmitter and event, displaying the LED colour and vibration pattern of your choice. The advanced programming overrides the radio key and pairs the units via the serial number. Please note that smoke alarms cannot be programmed for safety reasons.
Note: The transmitter must be activated as it is intended to be used in the system to generate the right signal. This means that you can’t always use the transmitter test button, see Default signal pattern for the relevant transmitter.
Here is how you program the pager:
1 Press and hold the function button on the pager. The green and yellow
Visit LEDs will start to blink alternately. While still holding down the
button, activate the desired transmitter as intended.
The yellow battery LED on the pager will light up to indicate that you are in
advanced programming mode. Release the button.
2 Scroll through the different Visit LED options by pressing the function button on the pager. Select the desired Visit LED pattern by holding down the function button until the battery LED goes out and lights up again.
3 Scroll through the different vibration options by pressing the function button on the pager. Select the desired vibration pattern by holding down the function button until the battery LED goes out and lights up again.
4 The pager will now show the new Visit LED colour and vibration pattern. Press the function button briefly to end the demonstration. After a short while, the pager will return to normal mode.
Deleting the advanced programming
Follow the procedure below to delete the advanced programming:
1 Hold down the function button on the pager until the green and yellow
Visit LEDs blink alternately.
Release the button.
2 Press the function button on the pager 3 times in quick succession.
3 All Visit LEDs will light up for ~2 seconds to show that it has been deleted.

Care and cleaning
Please note: Failure to follow these care and cleaning instructions could result in damage to the pager and void the warranty.
Using connectors and jacks
Never force a connector into a jack. Check for obstructions on the jack. If
the connector and jack don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t
match. Make sure that the connector matches the jack and that you have
positioned the connector correctly in relation to the jack.
Using the pager
Operate the pager in a dry environment where the temperature is always
between 0° and 35° C (32° and 95° F). If the pager gets wet, it should no
longer be regarded as reliable and should therefore be replaced.
Cleaning
To clean the pager, use a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in
openings. Don’t use window or household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents,
alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.
Service and warranty
If the pager appears to be damaged or doesn’t function properly, follow the
instructions in this user guide If the pager still doesn’t function as
intended, contact your local dealer for information on service and warranty.
