摘要

A selective call receiver (40) is provided which has a receiver (66) for receiving a message to be presented to a user, a housing enclosing the receiver, and a holster (330) slidably coupled to the housing. The holster (330) has a belt clip (310) pivotably coupled to the holster (330). The belt clip (310) has a first end (312) for securing the holster (330) to the user, and a second end (314) for pivoting the belt clip (310) away from the holster (330). A self-locking clip (300) is coupled to the holster (330). The self-locking clip (300) contacts or butts the housing of the selective call receiver (40) wherein the housing forces the self-locking clip (300) against the belt clip (310) for locking the belt clip (310) in position.
