Others lust after the Minitor V, but that is most likely due to the fact that when we switched to UHF, we bulk purchased Min IV and to save a buck we purchased plain vanilla 1 channel units. They would rather live with a Min IV with a broken belt clip than to be assigned 'one of those new ones!' We have some members who do not under any circumstances want a Minitor V, to the point where they will show up with a broken belt clip and ask if I can swap them out, but only if it is a Min IV. Most common repairs on the Min 5: Pager will not power up or take a charge. Most common repairs on the Min 4: Does not alert and belt clip snapped off. 70% of our pagers are Min IV, 30% are Min V, but the repairs are running about 60/40.

(might be related to that we are Narrow Band)ġ) Uses a proprietary battery, so you cannot throw in Duracells to get you through a storm-standby.Ģ) Constant problems with the chargers, high pitched squeal or whine, doesn't charge the battery.ģ) We have had more repairs to the 5's than the 4's. Eventually the pager will stop alerting (but monitor fine)ġ) Batteries last for approx 3 days between chargeģ) Slightly better receive, assigned them to a couple of members in a hard area to receive in and they did better than the 4's.

Any problems you've run into or anything would be great, thanks.Min IV Pros:ġ) Uses AAA batts, so in a pinch you can install some Duracells to bridge the gap.Ģ) Only receives 'Wideband' (although it will work on a Narrowband system)ģ) Most common damage is to the tone detection board right near the belt clip. I am looking for just a simple comparison of the Min4 Vs.
