to the Standby Screen.
2.2.2 Reading a New Message
When the pager is being used, it will typically be at the Standby Screen awaiting a page.
1. When a page is received it will alert the user, depending on the pagers current
alert settings.
2. To stop the pager from alerting you about the received page, press any key.

 NOTE: The Unread Message icon appears whenever there are stored
messages in the pager that have not been read. Press the Read Key to view any
unread messages. The pager will also emit a short warning beep every few minutes
to alert the user that unread messages exist on the pager.

icon will appear.

message as best as possible. The pager will show “ER” on the time stamping screen.
 NOTE: The 7900 pager can store up to 60 messages (depending on settings
programmed into it). If a new message is received whilst the pagers message
memory is full, the oldest message gets deleted to make room for the new message.
