See page 20 for the beginning of the maildrop alert procedures. When you
have finished, the super maildrop indicator is either

Turning the Alert for a Specific Topic On and Off
Topic alerts can be turned on only if the entire super maildrop is alert-enabled.
After assigning a unique alert to the super maildrop, that same alert is used
for each alert-enabled topic within that super maildrop. Turning an alert on or
off for a topic is the same procedure as for a maildrop alert.
ΠMake sure the topic list is displayed and the topic you want (
^
or
n
) is at the
top of the list.
See page 20 for the beginning of the maildrop alert procedures. When you
have finished, the topic indicator is either
^
(alert off) or
n
(alert on).
Advanced Messaging
The Timeport P730 Information Pager can also be programmed to receive
financial services such as stock information or exchange rates, if your service
provider offers this type of service in your region. The information can be
arranged for easy viewing by separating it into a number of super maildrops.
Information can be viewed from the topics in super maildrops (see page 22 for
reading super maildrop messages).
Stock information may include, the company name, current stock price,
transaction volume, open and close price for the day etc., depending on the
information provided by your service provider.
