Abstract

A multi-address radio display pager includes a display unit, a memory and at least one manually operated key for receiving a paging signal containing one of multiple calling addresses and a message which is classified as one of data groups according to the calling addresses, the message being accompanied with a set of ancillary data items. A controller is responsive to the operation of a menu key for providing a display of the data groups to allow each one of the displayed data groups to be selected by a user and providing a display of the ancillary data items of the selected data group instead of the data groups to allow each one of the displayed ancillary dam items to be selected by the user and a display of ON/OFF indications of the selected ancillary data item to allow the user to determine an ON/OFF state for each of the selected ancillary data items. The determined ON/Off state of each selected ancillary data item is stored into the memory corresponding to the selected data group. During a page receiving mode, the controller is responsive to a paging signal for classifying a message contained therein as one of the data groups, and provides a display of the message in addition to a display of ancillary data items of the message in accordance with ON/OFF states stored in the memory corresponding to the classified data group.
