Congratulations on purchasing your MotorolaCP1250pager.This new
and exciting, eight-line, word message pager integrates messaging and
advanced information services with other features, such as, phone list,
zoom capabilities and event reminder/calendar.
This pager can receive three different types of messages depending upon
the features available in your pager:personal (§), maildrop (´), and super
maildrop (©).
Personal messages are messages your pager receives from
friends, family, and from whomever you give your pager number.Maildrops
and Supermaildrops are your information services such as news, weather
and sports.
A full understanding of what this exciting product offers begins with reading
the CP1250 User’s Guide.This will provide helpful suggestions for both the
first-time and experienced user. A detachable quick reference card on the
back cover is included for your convenience.

Turning the Alert for a Super Maildrop On and Off
Turning an alert on or off for a super maildrop is the same procedure as for
a maildrop (see page 19), except for the screen indicators.
➊Make sure the super maildrop (©or ¬) you want is highlighted (ßor †).
SUPER MAILDROP MESSAGES
26
➋See page 19 for the beginning of the maildrop alert procedures.When
you have finished, the super maildrop indicator is eitherß(alert off) or †
(alert on).
Turning the Alert for a SpecificTopic On and Off
Topic alerts can be turned on only if the entire super maildrop is alert-
enabled.After assigning a unique alert to the super maildrop, that same
alertis used foreach alert-enabled topic within that super maildrop.Turning
an alert on or off for a topic is the same procedure as for a maildrop alert.
➊Make sure the topic list is displayed and the topic you want (—or Ø) is at
the top of the list.
➋See page 19 for the beginning of the maildrop alert procedures.When
you have finished, the topic indicator is either —(alert off) or Ø(alert on).
The Quickview Feature
Quickview allows you to read a super maildrop message directly from the
Status screen.A quickview“points” directly to a super maildrop topic,
which can be read with the press of one button.Without quickview, you
would have to go through many steps to read this message.You can assign
up to ten quickviews to different topics within the same or different super
maildrops.

Note: If you use quickview to display a message, you cannot define an
alert for it or move it to another folder. You must access the message in
the super maildrop topic list to perform these functions.

topic and a quickview; no messages are being deleted or moved.

Introduction to Folders
Your pager has a system of folders in which you can save specific
messages and where you can perform certain tasks upon them.The
folders are:
• Personal (q)—used to store personal messages
• Maildrop (º)—used to store information services messages (maildrop
and super maildrop)
• Phone List (h)—used to store phone numbers and names
• Task List (Å)—used to create a “to do”checklist for specific messages
• Event List (o)—used to set an alarm for specific messages
• Trash (Ç)—used to store messages to be deleted.
FOLDERS
32
Most of these folders require the same procedures to move messages to
them from the Status screen and between them (except for the Event List,
which has additional procedures).The procedures in this section apply
either to all folders (as in “Moving Messages to Folders”) or to specific
folders (as in “Deleting Messages from the Pager (Emptying the Trash)”).
Moving Messages to Folders
Note: After moving a message into a folder, you cannot move it back to
the Status screen. It can only be moved to another folder.
On the Status screen, make sure the icon representing the message you
want to move is highlighted (for example, ∞, ˝, or ¨).
➊Press t.The Function menu is displayed.
