Receiving Messages
• Your AccessMate pager helps you organize your communications by
placing messages directly into folders such as RECEIVED/PERSONAL
for personal messages and Information Service Folders (NEWS, CNN,
etc.) for news messages. Exact folder names may vary depending on
your service provider.
• When you receive a new message, your AccessMate pager vibrates
and/or plays your selected tone.
• The icon is displayed whenever you receive a new message.
If it is solid, you have new information service messages. If it is
flashing, you have new personal messages.
• The top line of the home page also displays the number of new
messages you have.
• Finally, your ability to receive messages varies depending on the
terrain, weather, building density, and interference around you.
Your pager home page will report your current service level.
For a description of your service level, please see the service
instructions provided by your paging carrier.

Reading Messages
TOREAD A MESSAGE
From the home screen, view the folder list by pressing the “Enter” button.
Select the desired folder with the “Up/Down Scroll” buttons and open it by
pressing the “Enter” button.
Select the desired message with the “Up/Down Scroll” buttons and read
the message by pressing the “Enter” button. You can scroll through the
message using the “Up/Down Scroll” buttons or the “Enter” button.
Several message options appear at the end of each message. Use the “Enter”
button to select the desired option.
NEXT NEW MESSAGE/NEXT MESSAGE/DONE
Only one of these message options is available for a particular message.
• NEXT NEW MESSAGE appears when there are other new messages in
the folder. It takes you to the next new message in the folder.
• NEXT MESSAGE appears when there are no other new messages in the
folder. It takes you to the next already read message in the folder.
• DONE appears when you are currently reading the last message in the
folder. It takes you back to the message list for the folder.
Select your preferred option and press the “Enter” button.
Note: If you receive a new message when the folders are full, your pager
automatically deletes the oldest message to make room for the new
message. If you want to protect messages from this behavior, move
them to the SAVED folder.
REPLY
If this message option appears, please see the Replying section on page 10.

DELETE
To delete a message:
Select DELETE from the message option list and press the “Enter” button.
You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the message. Select
YES and press the “Enter” button.
SAVE
To save the message in your SAVED folder, select SAVE from the message
option list and press the “Enter” button. The message will be stored in your
SAVED folder. Unlike messages in other folders, saved messages will never be
deleted by the pager to make room for new messages.
To remove a message from the SAVED folder you must individually delete it by
reading it and selecting the DELETE message option. You can also delete all
saved messages at the same time. See the Deleting Messages section on
page 9 for details.
SET REMINDER
This message option allows you to set a reminder alert for any message.
When the reminder time arrives the message will alert as if it were a new
message, but the word “REMINDER” will be placed in front to distinguish it
from a new message. This option is a great way to remind yourself about
appointments or things you need to do on the way home from work.
To set a reminder:
Select SET REMINDER from the message option list and press the
“Enter” button.
Select a time period and press the “Enter” button. You may also enter a
specific time by selecting the CUSTOM TIME option and pressing the
“Enter” button.
Note: Reminder Alerts are originated by your pager itself and will not
result in charges from your service provider.

Deleting Messages
As explained in the Reading Messages section on page 8, you can delete any
individual message by reading it and then selecting DELETE and pressing the
“Enter” button.
You may also delete ALL the messages in a given folder by:
Selecting PREFERENCES from the main folder menu and pressing the
“Enter” button.
Scrolling down to DELETE MESSAGES and pressing the “Enter” button.
Selecting the folder you want to delete from and pressing the
“Enter” button.
Selecting your preferred option of DELETE READ MESSAGES or
DELETE ALL MESSAGES and pressing the “Enter” button.
IMPORTANT:
Before you have completed step 4, you can always cancel the delete
operation by pressing the ”Exit/Backlight” button.
Messages inside the RECEIVED/PERSONAL and information services folders
will automatically be deleted to make room for information messages once a
particular folder is full. This saves you the trouble of having to individually
delete information service messages.

Replying: Available Only for Reply Service Customers
If you subscribe to reply service from your carrier, a REPLY option will appear
at the end of each replyable message. You will be able to reply by choosing
one of the preset AccessMate replies or a custom reply created by the sender.
To Reply:
Select REPLY from the message option list and press the “Enter” button.
Select your desired reply using the “Up/Down Scroll” buttons and press the
“Enter” button.
The display will now change to REPLYING as your reply is transmitted. If other
replies are currently being sent, your display will show PENDING indicating
your reply will be sent as soon as possible.
CANCEL PENDING REPLIES
While your reply is pending, you have the option to cancel it. This option
choice appears at the bottom of the pending message. To cancel the reply:
Select the PENDING line in the folder and press the “Enter” button.
Scroll to the bottom of the message, select CANCEL REPLY and press the
“Enter” button.
Note: You will not be able to cancel a reply once the sending process has
started.

Setting Your Alerts
Your AccessMate pager allows you to set different alerts for different types of
messages. You can also control all alerts with a single setting.
CONTROLLING ALL ALERTS
This setting allows you to quickly turn all alerts on, off, or to a setting called
”vibrate only.“ The “vibrate only” setting substitutes a vibrate alert for audible
personal and information service alerts. To change this alert setting:
Select PREFERENCES from the folder list and press the “Enter” button.
Select ALERTS and press the “Enter” button to change the settings for
this option.
When your desired option is shown simply scroll down to a new option or
press the “Exit/Backlight” button to leave the screen. Your new setting will
immediately be in effect.
