A combination electronic pager, organizer and radio (10) supplied with power by at least one of an external and an internal power supply (56) and connectable to a telephone line (50). The combination electronic pager, organizer and radio (10) includes a housing including a base unit (12) and a face unit (14). Positioned within the base unit (12) is a radio (64) for receiving an external radio transmission and including a tuning dial (36) for tuning the received transmission and a speaker (30) for producing an audio representation of the received signal. The radio (64) is connected to receive power from the at least one of the external and internal power sources (56). A microprocessor (54) including a memory (58) for storing data for use thereby and a clock (62) for indicating a present time of day, date, month and year is also positioned within the base unit (12) and is connected to receive power from the at least one of the external and internal power supplies (56). A keyboard (24) is connected to input data to the microprocessor (54) for storage in the memory (58), the data includes information relating to dates and times of appointments. A modem (60) is connected between the microprocessor (54) and the telephone line for initiating a telephone call to a predetermined telephone number upon a determination by the microprocessor (54) that a time indicated by the clock (62) matches a time associated with data stored in the memory (58) and associated with an appointment input on said keyboard (24). The microprocessor (54) is also capable of performing arithmetic calculations, store names, telephone numbers, addresses and memos and processing financial information.
