In the majority of my previous lives, we used Tuesday @ 10am as the swtichover 
time.

That allowed for the odd Monday holiday to not interfere with the schedule as 
well as give the person doing the duty to clean up after the weekend.

The switchover of pager/responsibility was the start of your time, anything 
that came in until the pager gets into the other's hands is your 
responsibility, no clean up for the new on-call.

When you took the pager, you're responsible for checking the battery, phones, 
your logins to any remote systems, your laptop for all required software 
working too. (Corporate "update" sometimes broke the tools we in support were 
required to use because they didn't see our jobs/needs as any different than 
say, folks in accounting.)
