Abstract
Abstract A paging apparatus having a message display function in which one or more of the messages stored in a message memory may be erased in response to the operation of a test switch in the factory during manufacturing. The paging apparatus is of a type that does not include a power switch. Rather, power is supplied immediately upon connection of a battery. Accordingly, a test switch which is inaccessible to the normal user is provided to switch the operation of the paging apparatus from a normal mode to a test mode or vice versa.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
Paging apparatus responsive to paging signals broadcast over at least one radio channel, the paging signals containing identification numbers identifying a particular paging apparatus and a message signal, said paging apparatus comprising: receiving means for receiving the paging signals; storage means for storing at least one identification number identifying the paging apparatus; signal detecting means coupled to said receiving means and said storage means for detecting a paging signal having an identification number corresponding to the identification number stored in said storage means, said signal detecting means further detecting at least one message signal in the received paging signal; message memory means coupled to said signal detecting means for storing the detected message signal; a manually operable switch; and erasure means coupled to said message memory means and said manually operable switch for erasing the message stored in said message memory means in response to the actuation of said manually operable switch.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
Paging apparatus responsive to paging signals broadcast over at least one radio channel, the paging signals containing identification numbers identifying a particular paging apparatus and a message signal, said paging apparatus comprising: receiving means for receiving the paging signals; storage means for storing at least one identification number identifying the paging apparatus; signal detecting means coupled to said receiving means and said storage means for detecting a paging signal having an identification number corresponding to the identification number stored in said storage means, said signal detecting means further detecting at least one message signal in the received paging signal; message memory means coupled to said signal detecting means for storing the detected message signal; a manually operable switch; and erasure means coupled to said message memory means and said manually operable switch for erasing the message stored in said message memory means in response to the actuation of said manually operable switch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The paging apparatus according to claim 1 further including battery means connected to at least said message memory means for supplying power directly to said message memory means upon mounting said battery means in the paging apparatus, said battery means being removable from the paging apparatus.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The paging apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said manually operable switch switches the operation of the apparatus between normal mode and test mode.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The paging apparatus of claim 1 further including display means for displaying the detected message signal upon correspondence between the identification number in the received paging signal and the identification number stored in said storage means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The paging apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said manually operable switch is a test switch mounted within the paging apparatus in a position inaccessible to the normal user of the paging apparatus.
