Cell Broadcast

These are general messages that your service provider broadcasts in numbered

channels in a geographic area. The broadcasts can be news, weather, sports, travel,

and more. Contact your service provider for a list of channels and the information

they provide.

Note: Your Personal Communicator can receive broadcast messages only when it

is in Standby mode.

While a cell broadcast message is scrolling across the screen, you can:

• Press

! to stop and start the message.

• Press

ª to remove the message.

Note: The function of the

! button changes while you are receiving a cell

broadcast message. You must remove the message before

! returns to normal.

When the message is complete, the beginning of the message remains displayed

until you remove it, a new message arrives, or you leave the geographic area.

From the Cell Broadcast submenu, select On to receive these messages, or Off to

stop receiving them.

Note: Selecting Off deletes all stored cell broadcast messages.
