Full understanding of what this exciting product offers begins with reading
this user’s guide. It provides helpful suggestions for both the first-time user as
well as the experienced user.
A detachable quick reference card is included on the back cover for
your convenience.
This pager can receive three different types of messages depending on the
features available in your pager: personal (
maildrop (
