P730 Information
Pager. This new and exciting, eight-line word-messaging display pager
integrates messaging with features such as emergency call, phone list, display
zoom, and event reminder/calendar.
Advanced information services (FLEX™ Information Service Protocol) provide
simple yet powerful tools for displaying a variety of information, such as stock
updates, sports scores, and late-breaking news. Check with your service
provider to determine if the following messaging services are available in your
region: price alerts, search string, price charts, other graphics, and emergency
call.
This pager can receive three different types of messages depending on the
features available in your pager: personal (
D), maildrop (K), and super
maildrop (
I). Full understanding of what this exciting product offers begins
with reading this user’s guide. It provides helpful suggestions for both the firsttime user as well as the experienced user.
A detachable Quick Reference Card is included on the back cover for
your convenience.

Backlight
Your pager’s display can be illuminated in low light conditions. You can
manually turn the backlight on and off by pressing and holding
t for at least
two seconds.
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.

Receiving/Reading a Personal Message
A flashing H in the upper-left corner indicates there is at least one unread
message in your pager. If programmed with reminder alerts, your pager alerts
periodically to remind you there are unread messages. Each flashing personal
message indicator (
D) on the Status screen represents an unread message. A
non-flashing
D represents a previously read message. If your pager has not
received any messages, there are no personal message indicators displayed on
the Status screen.
When your pager has received a message and an alert is being emitted use the
following steps to read the message.
Press any button to stop the alert. The new message is automatically stored,
along with the time and date it was received. The Status screen displays the
number of the message (03: in this example because it is in the third
message slot) and the first line of the message.

Receiving/Reading Maildrop Messages
Your pager is capable of receiving Maildrop messages (Information Services).
Maildrop messages are received the same way as personal messages. One
maildrop (indicated by
O for audible alert or K for silent alert) can store up to
eight different messages designated for that maildrop. Maildrop messages are
located on the second row of the display. If no maildrop messages have been
received, no maildrop icons are displayed.
You can set an alert for each maildrop (indicated on the Status screen by
O).
However, the default is no alert (
K). See “Setting the Alert for a Specific
Maildrop” on page 20 for more information about how to set a maildrop alert.
