The USAlert Alpha 2 Programmer consists of the programming fixture (labeled UB-25), the programming software (J25 for Alpha 2), and a USB cable for connection to the computer. The programming software is also used with the USAlert NP35 (J8) and NP40 (J7) Numeric pagers.
To program an Alpha 2 pager, install and run the latest programming software. The programmer screen displays three sections labeled Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. Connect the USB cable to an operational USB computer port and also to the programming fixture. The green power LED on the fixture next to the USB connection should light. If you don’t get a green power light, check your computer’s USB configuration, try another USB port, another USB cable, or another computer.
