Locking (Protecting) Messages
By locking messages, you can protect them against either being replaced
when memory is full or from being deleted when you use
erase all
.
Note:
You can only lock a message while you are reading it. However, it
does not matter whether you are reading it for the first or an additional
time.

Hint:
If you are locking a message you
have just received, start here. If you have
recalled a message from memory and
want to lock it, skip to Step 3.

The pager has received a message
and alerts for eight seconds. Press
