Minitor VI file converter. Convert custom audio files for use with the Minitor VI Pager.


This is a guide to programming the Minitor 6 custom audio.

  1. Insert a good battery into the Minitor VI pager
  2. With the programming cradle attached to the computer, read the pager
  3. Click on "View Custom Audio" button at bottom of screen
  4. If you were successful you will see the screen below
You can add custom "beeps" when alerted and custom "announcements" when the selector knob is changed.


The custom audio feature allows users to personalize the pager by programming custom .wav files for the function switch announcements, as well as page call alert tones.

The screen above is divided into two sections: the top section for personalizing the alert tones and the bottom to personalize the function switch announcements. The procedure to personalize the function switch and alert tone is same. The steps are as follows:

  1. Make sure that the .wav file you are using for customization is in acceptable format - it should be 8 KHz, mono, 16-bit PCM file with size less than 65 KB. Use our custom converter above to convert audio file to the correct format.
  2. Using the "Browse" buttons assign a .wav files to desired alert tone (Alert 1 through Alert 5) and/or function switch announcement (SW-A through SW-H).
    NOTE : Five default alert tones and eight default announcements .wav files are provided for reference purposes only, and are not intended to be used. The file converter above can be used to convert a audio file of your choice to take advantage of this feature. You can listen to the current audio within the pager by clicking on the playback button under "Play Pager".
  3. Confirm that the custom audio files to be written into the pager have their box checked under the "Write" column.
  4. Once satisfied with the selection(s), click "OK" to exit from this screen.
  5. Write the custom .wav files to your pager by selecting "Write Custom Audio" under "Operations" menu or by clicking on the toolbar icon.
  6. Now your custom audio files are ready to be used, but they first need to be assigned to the call addresses under the "Channel" tab or to function switch positions under "Function Switches" tab in User Data window.

Once the .wav files are assigned, you can try them out by playing the file through the PC by clicking on playback button under "Play File".

Note: Custom audio files can't be read from Minitor VI pagers. Thus you can not read one pager, then program a different pager's custom audio from the first. In other words the custom audio file is not clonable from one pager to another. You can have the custom audio files saved on a computer, then program all the Minitor VI pagers the same using the saved file.
