How Server Pagers Work
Server pagers are simple and effective: When a meal is ready, the cook presses a button on a transmitter in the kitchen and then a pager, worn by a server, vibrates silently to call the server to the kitchen.
Transmitters: Transmitters are usually mounted on a wall in the kitchen or prep station. There are twelve numbered one-touch call buttons. Pressing a one-touch button sends a signal to the corresponding pager that makes the pager vibrate strongly but silently. The server will feel the vibration but there will be no pager sounds heard in your restaurant.
Transmitters are usually attached to a dry-erase board (included) with numbered spaces for server names written in dry marker or grease pencil. The boards and transmitters together are mounted on the wall with Velcro (also included).
The transmitters are powerful and can easily cover a 15,000 square foot facility.
Transmitters are powered by A/C or rechargeable batteries if there is no convenient power source. They are small, rugged and portable.
Multiple Stations: You can call servers to three different locations. Transmitters can be programmed to send distinct signals so pagers vibrate from one to three times per call (i.e., one buzz for the kitchen, two for the bar, and three for cold prep). Lights on the pagers also show the transmitter call- one, two or three.
You can also have multiple transmitters in one location so one is always in arm's reach. Transmitters can share IDs (indicated by one to three buzzes).
Server Numbers: The one-touch buttons quickly call pagers 1 through 12. The system is not limited to these-- pager IDs can be 1 through 899 (but IDs above 12 are not one-touch).
Pagers can be programmed to have any ID number from 1 to 899. The transmitter has a pager programming feature so it can quickly change pager IDs as needed. If desired, servers can keep their regular ID no matter which pager they get. If a pager is lost or broken, its ID can easily be given to another.
This starter kit system includes five pagers. You can have any number of wait staff overall but you only need five pagers if you only have five servers on the floor at any given time. Servers can be assigned the pager's ID as pagers are handed out or pagers can be given the server's ID.
It's wise to have spares- additional pagers can be purchased individually. Though the pagers are rugged and can even be dropped fully into water (for a few moments), they may still be taken home or misplaced.
Pager belt holsters are used instead of belt clips. The pagers themselves do not have protruding parts so clips cannot be broken off. The starter kit includes spare belt holsters.
Charger: A pager charger rack is included with the kit. It has status lights to show charging units. Pagers are fully charged in four hours and then can go up to 60 hours between charges. Pager batteries are good as long as five years.

Upgrade Options
T9601 Transmitter: This system can be upgraded from the TX9550 LCK shown above to use the T9601 transmitter instead. 
Outstanding features of the T9601 include:
- One-touch paging for 16 servers (the LCK has 12)
- Built-in clock (LCK has no clock)
- 750mw transmitter power (the LCK has 500mw)
- Grease pencil holder and removable magnet name labels (LCK uses a white board)
- Transmits one, two or three vibration signals on the fly (LCK does not change on the fly)
- Sends transmitter ID one to nine to the pager lights.
- Manager pager support (POCSAG) (manager pager sold separately) (LCK does not address manager pagers)
- Multiple language support.
The LCK may be battery operated but the T9601 cannot. The LCK weighs little enough that it can be mounted to walls with velcro. The T9601 is much heavier but includes a clamping system for attaching to shelves or a bracket system for mounting with screws.
T9101 Transmitter and Cancel Panel Upgrades: The standard transmitter can be upgraded to an enhanced model which features:
- 2 watt transmitter power
- Stainless steel enclosure
- Automatic repaging (if servers are unable to respond in the time allowed)
- Manager paging
- Cancel panel: The cancel panel is an additional option that is a separate control panel that servers use to cancel their calls when they pick up their food. (This stops auto repaging.) The cancel panel works only the the transmitter upgrade.
The transmitter and cancel panel upgrades can be ordered when you put this item in the shopping card.
