Sending a Test Page to Yourself
It’s a good idea to test your pager and service by sending a page to yourself.
Start by using the phone number, web site or email address (and PIN, if
required) your service provider gave you, then enter a short message. If you are
sending a word message from a phone, an operator will assist you; otherwise
press the phone buttons to enter a numeric message or type a message and
send it. While you are waiting for the message to reach your pager, refer to
page 14 for more information about how to read a message.
If your pager does not receive the message within a few minutes, contact your
service provider. After you’ve tested your pager, read the rest of this guide to
learn about the many useful features of your new pager.

The Timeport P730 Information Pager has been designed to provide you with
the following powerful advanced messaging features. Please check with your
service provider to determine if the "price alert," "price chart," and "other

• Quickview Folders and Quickview - gives you immediate access to
frequently read information.
• Breaking the Topic/Quickview or Quickview Folder relationship allows you to break a topic relationship with a quickview folder or quickview

• Price Alert - allows you to set a high price and a low price for a selected
stock. The pager alerts if either price occurs.
• Search String - allows you to quickly search for a key word or stock.
• Price Charts - generates charts of stock prices or other numeric
instruments.
• Other Graphics - displays bitmapped graphics. Check with your service
provider to determine if such information is available.

Price Charts
The Timeport P730 Information Pager automatically plots a chart of stock
prices or other numerical values for instruments or topics in your quickview
(not quickview folder). Ten stock price charts can be displayed, one for each
quickview you set up. The price charts are based on the values in the original
topic messages and start collecting price data for charting once your selected
information is put into quickview.
Note: The date and time setting on the Timeport P730 Information Pager
must be correct otherwise the charts will not reflect the current information.

A moving window (the timeframe, as determined by your service provider) of
price points is tracked for numerical topics that are put into quickview. The
charts also display the maximum and minimum price reached. A vertical
dotted line separates the previous day’s and current day’s prices or values as
the chart crosses over from previous day to current day.
Note: For the period when the pager senses out of range, the chart leaves a
gap until it is back in range.

Most of these folders require the same procedures to move messages between
them and to them from the Status screen (except for the Event List, which has
additional procedures). The procedures in this section apply either to all

Moving Messages Between Folders
Before you can move a message from one folder to another, you must first have
the message text displayed on the pager. (This is only necessary between
folders, not from the Status screen to a folder. To review that procedure, go
back to Steps 1 through 4 starting on page 36.)
Note: You can freely move messages between all folders (including the
Trash). However, after you have moved a message to a folder, you cannot
move it back to the Status screen.
With the text of the message displayed, press t. A folder-specific Function

are displayed on the Status screen.
