PAGER RECEIVER CAPABLE OF AVOIDING AN UNPLEASING INTERRUPTION OF A DISPLAYED MESSAGE

摘要

In a pager receiver having a display unit and carrying out operations in relation to each of previous and current messages stored in an RAM, only reception of the current message is indicated by an optical indicator included in the display unit when each operation is being carried out in relation to the previous message. The current message is displayed on an LCD of the display unit after completion of each operation related to the previous message. The previous message can completely be displayed without sudden interruption which may occur on reception of the current message. Each message is stored in an assigned sector set of the RAM with the number of the assigned sector set kept in an assigned file of the RAM. The number of the assigned file is monitored by a CPU to readily erase or protect each message.
