A communication system has a PCC 101 which receives a data stream from an cordless base station 115 when the PCC 101 is not engaged in a telephone call. The data stream has a repeat indication field 508 and a message field 506 that the PCC 1 01 uses to determine if the message has already been received. If the PCC 101 determines the message was already received, the PCC 101 turns off its receiver 401 for a duration of time slightly less than the message field time. This results in a power savings for the PCC 101. |
