A receiver (404) capable of receiving transmitted coded message signals during a predetermined one of a plurality of coded transmission slots transmitted on each of a plurality of channels (102-108) has an output (406) that detects channel identification information (208) and a memory (422) for storing predetermined channel identification information and active channel information indicating the active channels of the plurality of channels (102-108) capable of being received for at least one geographic area. Channel selecting means (426), further responsive to the active channel information, selects reception by the receiver (404) of only the active channels in the particular geographical area when the channel identification information (208) detected on the predetermined one of the plurality of channels (102-108) does not match predetermined channel identification information, whereby power consumption of the receiver is reduced, as exemplified in FIG. 6. <IMAGE> |
