• Regardless of the selected alert type, the pager

flashes the number of unread messages until you
have read them all.

• The time/date display automatically reappears

when you press 

 after reading the last mes-

sage, or after a few seconds if you do not press
any button.

Duplicate Messages

If your pager receives a message that is the same as
one already stored in memory (read or unread), 
appears along with the message number when you
press 

 to read that message.

Note:  The pager immediately saves the duplicate
messages as one memory record, showing the most
recent time the message was received.
