A subscriber unit (102) monitors a percentage of slots in a control channel (108) for a time period, and determines a utilization of the control channel (108) during the time period based upon the percentage of slots monitored. A percentage of slots in the control channel 108 to monitor for a page during a subsequent time period is selected based upon the utilization of the control channel (108) during the time period. The percentage of slots monitored during the subsequent time period may be adjusted based upon relative usage of page types in the control channel (408), recent call activity (410), and received signal strength (412).
