SV stands for stored voice; you have to buy this option with the pager before you can enable it in the programming. Basically it records the pages so you can play them back over and over again.
Fixed Alert, If you select this option, when the pager alerts the beeeeeppppp will be at the loudest volume possible, regardless of were the volume knob is set. The volume know will only turn down the audio, not the alert beep. this is helpful when you have fireman who are sound sleepers and need that loud Beeep to wake them up.
Call reminder, once again a stored voice option. If it had stored voice and it stored a page that you missed, the reminder would beep periodically to tell you you have a page stored you haven't listened too yet.
Hope this helps and that i haven't confused you, i tried to explain it in "laymans terms" so you could under stand what each option does.
Revert N reset is what you want if you want the pager to go to open channel monitoring after it alerts. If you set it to Manual reset, it will go to open Squelch (white noise) after the page and you will have to manually reset it to get it to stop. I would set it to Revert N, thats what most people set there's too, that lets you monitor the channel like a scanner after it has been paged, until you press the reset button, then it resets the pager back to silence ready for another page.
On/ Off Duty Tones, let you set certain tones that are active when you switch the rotary know to on duty or off duty . Like if i was a fire fighter i would set my pager On Duty when i'm working and get all the tones that i need, and set it to off duty when i get off and only get the tones that activate the pager when they need backup. Hope this isn't confusing to you.
Squelch, lets you set the squelch threshhold for the pager. the tighter the squelch, the less range the pager will have. usually leave it set at default setting
Call Duration, Std sets the beeeeepp to alert the length of the actual tone that sets the pager off after it has recognized the page. the longer the dispatcher is sending the second tone, the longer the pager will alert. If you set it to a time like 5 seconds it will alert for five seconds after it recognizes the page and you run a risk of the pager alerting over the voice and missing were to go. i always leave this set at std. unless its a tone only pager and is not followed by voice prompts.
