RECEIVING AND READING 
MESSAGES

When the pager receives a page, it alerts (beeps or vi-
brates) for 8 seconds. Press any button to stop the
alert sooner. The pager displays the number of un-
read pages.

Press 

 to display the first unread message. If it

contains more than 12 digits, repeatedly press 

 to

see the rest of the message. The last screen gives the
message’s number and time.

To read additional messages, press 

 again.

Notes:

• The pager briefly alerts every 2 minutes until you

read all new messages.
