 To turn on your Alpha Legend, press and hold down the green read button for six seconds. On the home screen you will see three folders to select from. These folders are Emergency, Non-Emergency and Admin. Below you will notice the amount of new messages that you've received. The time date, the battery status and on the top right hand side will see the total amount of messages in your current folder selection. To turn off your Alpha Legend, press the red button, then the left button and you will see Turn Pager Off on the screen. And now you may press the red button again to turn it off.
