INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have just purchased a
LIFESTYLE PLUS pager by Motorola, world leader in
paging products.
HOW CANYOU USE A LIFESTYLE PLUS PAGER
• Give your pager number to friends and family.
When they call your pager number, they enter the
number where they can be reached from a tone-
type telephone. This number is then displayed on
your pager, allowing you to be in touch wherever
you go.
• Include your pager number in your answering
machine or voice mail message.Receive important
messages immediately without checking your
answering machine or voice mail.
• Leave your pager number at your children’s school
and with the babysitter so you can always be
reached.
• Create “code” messages with numeric patterns to
send someone special a secret note.Be creative!
• If you have a cellular phone, give out your pager
number instead of your cellular number. This helps
reduce your monthly cellular bill.
