The Pager is a small electronic beeper of the kind doctors and office workers once carried. It no longer receives messages, but its parts still have value.
Its use is as the base for a homemade remote controller. A TV Remote or a Cordless Phone can fill the same role. Survivors who train the Electrical skill keep a few on hand.
The Pager weighs almost nothing. It is most often taken from the pockets of zombies dressed as doctors and other professionals. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.
Using
The Pager goes into three remote controller recipes. Each needs a screwdriver and pliers, which are kept, plus Scrap Electronics and 2 Glue.
The Remote Controller (Short-Range) takes 2 Scrap Electronics and Electrical level 2. The Remote Controller (Medium-Range) takes 3 Scrap Electronics and Electrical level 4. The Remote Controller (Long-Range) takes 4 Scrap Electronics and Electrical level 6.
Higher Electrical levels unlock the longer ranges. The same Pager is worth more to a trained survivor.
