摘要

Abstract of the Disclosure:A pager receiver for a radio calling signal carryinga call number and/or a message comprises a processing unit forproducing a drive and an information signal to produce ordinarytone or tones related to the call number and to provide ordinaryvisual displays representative of the message, respectively.A processed signal is produced by the processing unit to provideextraordinary tones peculiar to a message-absent call, a message-present call, and a repeat call for repeatedly displaying a priormessage. The processed signal also appears to provide extraordinaryvisual displays unique to the message-absent call. When the pagerreceiver has a plurality of preassigned call numbers, the processedsignal is produced to provide such extraordinary displays inherentto each of the respective preassigned call numbers. In additionto the extraordinary displays of the preassigned call number,a plurality of messages are successively stored in a memory ina predetermined order to be successively displayed one by one.On reception of the repeat call, the predetermined order may bechanged to keep the message related to the repeat call from beingerasing from the memory even when the memory is full of message.
