Minitor On/Off duty Information
Does anyone know of any documents that would explain what this is and how it would be used? The help files in the software for the III/IV and V are both limited to say the least.

On a Minitor II, "on duty" will have the pager activate for all tone pairs in the tone set (for example, our pagers use tone set #1 -- A-B, A-C, Long B and Long C). But, "off duty" the pager will activate only for tone pairs that do not contain the C tone (in tone set #1 that is A-B or Long B).
What we use it for... our duty crew gets toned out with A-C. Any pager in "on duty" mode will activate when that tone sequence is sent. But, if you are not on duty and want to sleep through the night peacefully unless you are actually needed, you can switch your pager to "off duty" and it will not activate on A-C. If we need "all hands," the dispatcher will send A-B which will activates both the "on duty" and "off duty" pagers.
We do the same thing. A-B is fire. A-C is EMS. If your not on medical duty overnight, you can leave it in off-duty and it will not alert for A-C.

on/off duty
how do you "set" the on-off duty physically? I know how to set it in the software but limited after that.
still learning
so on a 5 for example if I was to set call 1 with duty on, call 2 with duty off then set under function switches that sw-b was checked for enable on/off duty what would the result be when the pager is set to switch b?
