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.
