P730 Information
Pager. This new and exciting, eight-line word-messaging display pager integrates messaging with features such as emergency call, phone list, display zoom, and event reminder/calendar.
Advanced information services (FLEX™ Information Service Protocol) provide simple yet powerful tools for displaying a variety of information, such as stock updates, sports scores, and late-breaking news. Check with your service provider to determine if the following messaging services are available in your region: price alerts, search string, price charts, other graphics, and emergency call.
This pager can receive three different types of messages depending on the features available in your pager: personal (
D
), maildrop (
K
), and super maildrop (
I
). Full understanding of what this exciting product offers begins with reading this user’s guide. It provides helpful suggestions for both the firsttime user as well as the experienced user.
A detachable Quick Reference Card is included on the back cover for your convenience.

Backlight
Your pager’s display can be illuminated in low light conditions. You can manually turn the backlight on and off by pressing and holding t

Sending a Test Page to Yourself
It’s a good idea to test your pager and service by sending a page to yourself.
Start by using the phone number, web site or email address (and PIN, if required) your service provider gave you, then enter a short message. If you are sending a word message from a phone, an operator will assist you; otherwise press the phone buttons to enter a numeric message or type a message and send it. While you are waiting for the message to reach your pager, refer to page 14 for more information about how to read a message.
If your pager does not receive the message within a few minutes, contact your service provider. After you’ve tested your pager, read the rest of this guide to learn about the many useful features of your new pager.

Receiving/Reading a Personal Message
A flashing
H
in the upper-left corner indicates there is at least one unread message in your pager. If programmed with reminder alerts, your pager alerts periodically to remind you there are unread messages. Each flashing personal message indicator (
D
) on the Status screen represents an unread message. A non-flashing
D
represents a previously read message. If your pager has not received any messages, there are no personal message indicators displayed on the Status screen.
When your pager has received a message and an alert is being emitted use the following steps to read the message.
Press any button to stop the alert. The new message is automatically stored, along with the time and date it was received. The Status screen displays the number of the message (03: in this example because it is in the third message slot) and the first line of the message.

Advanced Messaging
The Timeport P730 Information Pager can also be programmed to receive financial services such as stock information or exchange rates, if your service provider offers this type of service in your region. The information can be arranged for easy viewing by separating it into a number of super maildrops.
Information can be viewed from the topics in super maildrops (see page 22 for reading super maildrop messages).
Stock information may include, the company name, current stock price, transaction volume, open and close price for the day etc., depending on the information provided by your service provider.
The Timeport P730 Information Pager has been designed to provide you with the following powerful advanced messaging features. Please check with your service provider to determine if the "price alert," "price chart," and "other graphics" features are available.
• Quickview Folders and Quickview - gives you immediate access to frequently read information.
• Breaking the Topic/Quickview or Quickview Folder relationship - allows you to break a topic relationship with a quickview folder or quickview and thus removing the quickview assignment for the topic.
• Price Alert - allows you to set a high price and a low price for a selected stock. The pager alerts if either price occurs.
• Search String - allows you to quickly search for a key word or stock.
• Price Charts - generates charts of stock prices or other numeric instruments.
• Other Graphics - displays bitmapped graphics. Check with your service provider to determine if such information is available.
Quickview Folder (
R
) and Quickview (
J
).
The quickview folder (
R
) allows you to store selected super maildrop topics from the original list of topics. This is useful for information that you want to read quickly. You can store up to 50 topics within the same or different super
27 28
maildrops in the quickview folder. To put a topic into a quickview folder, make sure the super maildrop containing the topic you want is highlighted (
G
or
@
) on the Status screen.
Press u

After using either x
or w
to position the desired topic at the top of the list, press t

Breaking the Topic/Quickview or Quickview Folder Relationship
There are two different locations from which you can break a topic relationship with quickview folder or with quickview and thus delete the quickview.
• From the
R or
J
displayed on the Status screen (representing the relationship you want to break)
• From the quickview message itself.
Note: This procedure is only for breaking the relationship between a topic and a quickview; no messages are being deleted or moved. You cannot move a quickview message directly to Trash. However, you can move the same message from its original super maildrop position to the Trash. The quickview relationship still exists for this topic and when a new message is received for this topic, it can still be read using
R or
J
.

Price Charts
The Timeport P730 Information Pager automatically plots a chart of stock prices or other numerical values for instruments or topics in your quickview
(not quickview folder). Ten stock price charts can be displayed, one for each quickview you set up. The price charts are based on the values in the original topic messages and start collecting price data for charting once your selected information is put into quickview.
Note: The date and time setting on the Timeport P730 Information Pager must be correct otherwise the charts will not reflect the current information.
A moving window (the timeframe, as determined by your service provider) of price points is tracked for numerical topics that are put into quickview. The charts also display the maximum and minimum price reached. A vertical dotted line separates the previous day’s and current day’s prices or values as the chart crosses over from previous day to current day.
Note: For the period when the pager senses out of range, the chart leaves a gap until it is back in range.

Introduction to Folders
Your pager has a system of folders in which you can save and organize specific messages. The folders are:
• Quickview Folder (
R
)—used to store important messages for immediate access (see page 27 for more information)
• Personal (q)—used to store personal messages and maildrop messages
• Phone List (h)—used to store phone numbers and names
• Task List ( a
)—used to create a “to do” checklist for specific messages
35 36
• Event List (o)—used to set an alarm for specific messages
• Trash ( b
)—used to store messages to be deleted
Note: The empty trash function (
C
) must be used to actually delete the messages from your pager. For more information, see page 40.
Most of these folders require the same procedures to move messages between them and to them from the Status screen (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
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, highlight the icon representing the message you want to move (for example,
P
,
@
, or
L
).
Press t
. The Function menu is displayed.
Press s
until the target folder icon flashes.
Press t
. The message you highlighted is removed from its slot on the
Status screen and is moved to the specified folder.
If this move was to any folder except the Event List, you have finished this procedure. If this move was to the Event List, go immediately to “Setting
Reminder Alarms for Events (the Event List)” on page 43.
Note: Any folder containing stored messages no longer displays the
FOLDER EMPTY
i ndication when highlighted.
Reading Messages in Folders
On the Status screen, press any directional button until the folder you want to open is highlighted:
List),
V
(Quickview Folder), l (Personal Folder), r (Phone a
(Task List), f (Event List) or g (Trash).
Press u
to open the folder. A list of messages is displayed. In the example below, a personal message is in the Personal Folder. It is displayed with its personal message indicator (
D
).
First line of personal message
[D

Note: If this same personal message is in either the Phone List, Task
List, or Event List, the message indicator changes from
Folder) to
D
(Personal
!
(Phone List), v
(Task List), or
C
(Event List), respectively. If a message is moved to the Trash, the indicator reverts back to its original personal (
D
) or maildrop (
K
) format.
Press w
until the message you want to read is at the top of list.
37 38
u
to begin reading the message.
Moving Messages Between Folders
Before you can move a message from one folder to another, you must first have the message text displayed on the pager. (This is only necessary between folders, not from the Status screen to a folder. To review that procedure, go back to Steps 1 through 4 starting on page 36.)
Note: You can freely move messages between all folders (including the
Trash). However, after you have moved a message to a folder, you cannot move it back to the Status screen.
With the text of the message displayed, press t
. A folder-specific Function menu is displayed as shown in the following example.
m ezqaob
Phone List Function Menu example
Note: This is an example of the Phone List Function menu because the
Phone List icon (h) is not displayed. The folder icon for the current folder is not displayed.
Press s
until the target folder (the folder to which you are moving this message) flashes. The MOVE TO (folder name) text is displayed, where (folder
name) is the name of the target folder.
Press t
. The message is moved to the new folder and the Status screen is displayed. If this message was the last one in the folder it came from, the
Status screen displays FOLDER EMPTY.
Note: If you are moving this message to the Event List, additional steps are involved. See “Setting Reminder Alarms for Events (the Event List)” on page 43.
Note: If the message you moved was a super maildrop topic with a quickview relationship, whenever a
is highlighted (before any new messages are received), only
QUICKVIEW
is displayed on the Status screen when you attempt to read the quickview message.
Moving All Personal Messages to the Trash
Rather than having to individually move all previously read personal messages to the Trash, you can move them together using
K
(MOVE ALL TO TRASH).
Note: This function only moves previously read personal messages and is only available on the Status screen. Maildrop and super maildrop messages must be individually moved to the Trash.
Make sure a previously read personal message is highlighted (
P
) on the Status screen.
Press t
to display the Function menu.
Press s
until
K
(MOVE ALL TO TRASH) flashes.
39 40
Press t
. All previously read personal messages are moved to the Trash.
Note: To remove these from the pager, you must empty the trash as described in the next procedure.
Deleting Messages from the Pager
(Emptying the Trash)
Deleting messages from your pager is actually a two-procedure process. After you have moved the message(s) to the Trash, you must use the empty trash function (
C
) to actually remove the message(s) from your pager’s memory.
While messages are in the Trash, they can still be moved to other folders. Only when you empty the trash are you actually deleting the messages from your pager.
On the Status screen, press s
until g (TRASH) is highlighted.
Press u
. A list of all messages in the Trash is displayed.
Press t
. The Trash Function menu is displayed.
Press s
until EMPTY TRASH (
C
) is displayed as shown in the example below.
Note:
C is only displayed when there are messages in the Trash.

Press t
. The prompt EMPTY TRASH? is displayed with l
pointing at t
.
Note: If you continue with this procedure, all messages in the Trash are deleted, not just the one at the top of the list.
Press t
. The messages are deleted from the pager. The pager returns to the Status screen which displays FOLDER EMPTY, indicating all messages have been deleted from the Trash.
Completing Your Tasks in the Task Folder
The Task Folder can turn your messages into a checklist of things to do. After you move a message into the Task List, the message indicator is changed to v
.
Upon completion of this task, you can mark it complete (

Note: Although the task has been completed, it does not move to a different position within the Task List. As per the example above, the completed task remains in the third position on the list.
To mark complete other tasks, repeat Steps 4 and 5 as necessary.
Setting Reminder Alarms for Events (the Event List)
Note: You must set the reminder alarm for the event. Otherwise, the move does not take effect and you must move the message to this folder again.
As soon as you move the message to the Event List, a screen similar to the example below is displayed.
Note: The time and date default to the current time and date.

Event List Expired Alarm Message example
Press u
again to read the message.
Note: If you move an Event List message with its reminder alarm set to any other folder, it loses its alarm. If you move it back to the Event List, you must reset the reminder alarm.
Changing the Reminder Alarm (in the Event List)
There are various reasons why you might need to reset the reminder alarm: you still need to remind yourself about an event for which the one-time reminder alarm has already expired (before midnight of the same day); or maybe you need to change the alarm time. Whatever the reason, you can reset the reminder alarm.
In the Event List, make sure the event you want is at the top of the list.
Press t
to display the Function menu.
Press s
until
H
(SET EVENT TIME) flashes.
Press t
. Reset the reminder alarm using the steps in “Setting Reminder
Alarms for Events (the Event List)” on page 43.
Battery Gauge
Located on the Status screen, the battery gauge indicator displays the battery energy level. The five indicators range from full to low:
L
(full), a (3/4), b (1/2), c (1/4), and d
(l ow).
Duplicate Messages
If the same message is received more than once, DUPLICATE is displayed at the beginning of the new message. This new message also contains the latest time and date stamp.
45 46
Emergency Call
Any of the three message types (personal, maildrop, or super maildrop) can be used to send an emergency call. The emergency message immediately displays on the pager, regardless of the pager’s alert mode. A unique alert emits— different from any other alert on the pager—and EMERGENCY CALL is displayed, indicating this type of message has been transmitted. Read this message as you would any other. Please speak with your service provider to determine if this feature is offered.
Errored Data Indicator
If errored data is received,
M flashes in the character position where the errored data was received.
Key Click
When this feature is turned on and the pager is in audible alert mode (
Y
), a
“click” is emitted whenever a button is pressed. If the pager is in silent alert mode (
Z
), no “click” is emitted.
Memory Capacity
The pager’s available memory depends on the following: how your service provider has divided the memory between personal and maildrop messages
(including super maildrop messages); how much information is stored in the various message folders; and how many previously read and unread messages are displayed on the Status screen.
Memory Full Indicator
There are two different situations that can produce a memory full condition: either all 26 personal message slots are occupied; or there is space for less than
130 characters in memory. When this condition is reached, d
is displayed on the Status screen. If a new personal message or any message containing more than 130 characters is received, the oldest personal message is overwritten.
Until this condition is corrected (by deleting unwanted messages or emptying the Trash), messages will continue to be overwritten.
Missing Fragment Indicators
If a portion of the message has not been received, either <...> (for word messaging) or _____ (for long numeric) missing fragment indicator is displayed.
Out of Range
If your pager is equipped with this feature, and if you are outside your paging coverage area,
=
is displayed. As long as
= is displayed, your pager cannot receive messages.
Zooming In and Out on Messages
The zoom feature allows you to enlarge the size of your pager’s message character display. (As a result, an eight-line display screen only displays four lines at one time.) This feature can be applied to all display text on your pager.
47 48
On the Function menu, press v
to move to m(ZOOM IN).
Note: If y(ZOOM OUT) is displayed, the pager is already in the larger text mode. Continuing here will change the text to its smaller size.
Press t
. The zoom mode is changed.
Note: The example below shows both text sizes for one message.
