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.

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.
31
ADVANCED MESSAGING
32
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.

Introduction to Folders
Your pager has a system of folders in which you can save and organize specific messages. The folders are:
Quickview Folder ( access (see page 27 for more information)
Personal (q)—used to store personal messages and maildrop messages
Phone List (h)—used to store phone numbers and names
Task List (
a)—used to create a “to do” checklist for specific messages
R)—used to store important messages for immediate

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
menu is displayed as shown in the following example.

Changing the Reminder Alarm (in the Event List)

There are various reasons why you might need to reset the reminder alarm: you still need to remind yourself about an event for which the one-time reminder alarm has already expired (before midnight of the same day); or maybe you need to change the alarm time. Whatever the reason, you can reset the reminder alarm.
