<p>In a radio paging receiver which receives a particular one of successive frames included in each cycle of a radio signal and which includes a receiving section (102) controllably activated for receiving the radio signal as a received signal during an activated period during which the receiver is activated, a frame defining portion (110, 112) defines a transmission period during which the particular one of the successive frames of each cycle is transmitted. A synchronization signal detecting section (104) detects a synchronization signal from the received signal and produces a detection signal. A counting area (113) counts the number of times of consecutive occurrences of nondetection which occurs when the synchronization signal detecting section does not detect the synchronization signal during the transmission period. A reception control section (111) controls the activated period on the basis of the number of times of consecutive occurrences of nondetection. In this event, the reception control section corrects the activated period into a new activated period given by adding a predetermined correction value to the activated period of a previous instance every time when the number of times of consecutive occurrences of nondetection becomes equal to a multiple of a predetermined number including unity. The reception control section reset resets a count value of the counting area in response to the detection signal. <IMAGE></p> |
