Motorola Sensar

Can someone tell me some information on the /\/\ Sensar pagers??? Any info is needed, ( except, "Well its a pager made by motorola" )

The Sensar was a pager of the approximately dimensions as a fountain pen and designed to be worn in a shirt pocket as a pen might be worn. It used a rechargeable NiCad button cell and came with a drop-in charger. There were two versions.

The earlier version had no display. Two phone numbers were assigned to it. Number 1 simply caused the pager to go off with a given tone sequence; you used this to call into a pre-set location (such as one's dispatcher or secretary). Number 2 went to a voice mail system and set off a different tone. On receipt of this tone, you went to a telephone and called in to retrieve your message.

The later version had a hump on the side that accommodated a numeric display, and callers to could DTMF in their call-back numbers.

Nah, I believe the Sensar had GOLAY or 5/6 tone decoders. No voice.

That's correct. Sensar was tone & numeric only. Nowhere near the battery power in that little beast to run an audio amp.

There was also a later version called the Gold Line. It was 900 MHz POCSAG capable. Used one for awhile in the 90's
Got a few of both in the collection. Will post later.
