FLX pager. This compact pager uses many
advances in electronic and wireless technology which
allow you to receive numeric messages instantly and
affordably.
EFFECTIVE USE OF YOUR BRAVO FLX PAGER
Your
BRAVO FLX pager can help you keep in contact
with everyone important to you. . . children or child care
providers, business office, data services, and voice mail.
Be sure your children’s school, physician, and friends
have the number to contact you in emergencies.
Give your pager number to family, friends, and
associates to assure contact at any time, any place.
When they call your pager number, they enter the
number where they can be reached on a tone-type
telephone. This number is then displayed on your
