assigning an alert type, then select .

5.Select to accept the changes and return to the Message Area screen.

Sending a Test Page to Yourself

It's a good idea to test your pager and service by sending a page to yourself before you spend time setting up the pager. Start by using the phone number, web site, or email address (and a PIN, if required) your service provider gave you, then enter a short mes- sage. If you are sending a word message from a phone, an operator will assist you; otherwise, press the phone buttons to enter a numeric message or type a message and send it. While you are waiting for the message to reach your pager, refer to page 37 for information about how to read a message. If your pager does not receive the message within a few minutes, contact your service provider. After you've tested the pager, read the rest of this guide to learn about the many useful features of your new pager.

Addresses

The Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager contains an address book for storing the address information of each person or group you might want to contact. You can include the type of pager and its PIN, an email address, a fax number, home and work phone numbers, and even miscellaneous notes for each address entry. When viewing address entries, the status bar notifies you if there is additional information not displayed on the screen.

TIP To view the additional data, press the NavDisc	down to
scroll through the rest of the information.

When you are ready to send a message, each person or group will have an address entry for each type of address you have identified that the Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager can send messages to.

ÄThe number of entries in the Address Book is only limited by the amount of free memory available (see “ Viewing System Status” on page 48 and “ Checking Memory Usage on Your Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager” on page 74).

ÄGroup names are indicated in the list of Address Book Entries with the label GROUP.

ÄUp to 25 members can be added to each group.

Entering Addresses

The Address Book contains addresses for individuals as well as for groups of individuals. Group addresses allow you to compose and send one message which is transmitted to each member of the group.

TIP You can force address names to appear in a position in the Address Book that you find convenient. For example, prefac- ing group names with a space forces all the groups to appear at the top of the list. Using an underscore instead forces the names to the bottom of the list.

To add an individual:

1.On the menu wheel, select .

2.Select New Individual Entry.

3.In the Name field, type the name for the entry as it should appear in the Address Book (e.g., Cody, Catherine).
