Minitor 5 battery problems

Post by Tron »

Has anyone had problems with the battery staying latched on the pager? I have some in service that need to keep it taped so it doesn't unlatch and drop off.

Or is the "solution" to this problem to keep it in a carry case, like the 3s & 4s?

FWIW, I'm using a Sun Telecom Flex display pager with a battery door on the back and it never comes off..and I don't use a case! Damn japs strike again. :-)

The lock tab on mine is almost immovable. You should need to push like hell on it to get the door to unlock.

Have about 600 MinV in service and have seen both problems - I would say at least 10 - 12 pagers with one problem or the other.
