METHOD OF POWER-SAVING OPERATION FOR PAGER AND PAGER ADAPTED TO METHOD OF POWER-SAVING OPERATION

摘要

A method of power-saving operation for a pager including remote-controllable power saving in which the pager receives from paging stations a message incorporating a power saving command, shuts off power supply to the RF receiver according to the command, maintains limited functions in the CPU, and resumes normal operation at a specified time, so that battery power can be saved. In another method, the pager temporarily stops receiving on daily scheduled periods keyed into the pager, subject to an entered password being correct. In another method for divided batch power saving, the pager receives a message in a format, different from the regular POCSAG power saving format of one reception every batch, but rather using one reception in a specified batch number and in a specified frame number.
