Time of Day/Standby Screen: The time of day is dis-
played while the pager is on and in the standby mode.
Time Stamp: The time of day that each message was re-
ceived is displayed on a separate screen following the
message.
Memory Retention: When the pager is turned off, all mes-
sages and the time of day remain in memory.
Memory Capacity: The pager can store up to 16 messag-
es or a total of 160 characters. Individual messages can be
up to 20 characters in length.
Message Protect/Lock: Up to five individual messages can
be locked in memory so they will not be overwritten by new
messages or discarded during the “Erase All” function.

messages by locking them in memory. When an attempt to
lock more than 5 messages is made

pager and causes the pager to return to the standby mode.
Reminder Chirp: When an unread message is stored in
memory, the pager gives a reminder chirp (short beep) ev-
ery two minutes. Vibrate models emit a short vibration in
place of the chirp when in the SILENT mode.
Duplicate Message: Incoming messages are compared
to messages stored in memory. If a new message is identi-
cal to a message in memory,
duplicaTre is shown for 2
seconds at the beginning of the message. The new times-
tamp follows the duplicate message.
Low Battery Indicator: When the battery nears the end of
its life, the time-of-day screen is replaced with
lo cell .
The battery must be replaced within a few days to avoid in-
terruption of pager operation.
Tone Alerting: The BRAVO PLUS pager can also respond
as a basic tone-alert model. When a tone-only message is re-
ceived,
Trone only replaces the standard message screen.
Unread Message Counter: When unread messages exist,
the standby screen is replaced by the unread message indi-
cator. The unread message indicator displays the number of
pages that have not been read, and is updated anytime a
message is received (except if message duplication occurs).
If
R
is pressed, and there are no messages in memory, no
pages is displayed.
Memory Full Indicator: If 16 messages or 160 characters
are stored in memory,
memory full is displayed in place
of the standby screen. A ne w message could cause the
oldest (first) unlocked, read message to be overwritten.
When some or all of the read messages are erased, the
pager returns to the standby mode.
Overflow Indicator: When the number of unread messag-
es is greater than the number of available memor y slots
(16),
ouerflow replaces the unread message indicator.
ouerflow indicates that the oldest (first) unread message
has been “pushed out” of memory by a more recent mes-
sage.
