Receiving/Reading Maildrop Messages

Your pager is capable of receiving Maildrop messages (Information Services).

Maildrop messages are received the same way as personal messages. One maildrop (indicated by

O

for audible alert or

K

for silent alert) can store up to eight different messages designated for that maildrop. Maildrop messages are located on the second row of the display. If no maildrop messages have been received, no maildrop icons are displayed.

Receiving/Reading Super Maildrop Messages

This feature, along with the use of topics, allows your pager to receive and store more powerful and sophisticated types of information services. The super maildrop feature allows the pager to store up to 3000 topics. Each of these topics can contain multiple messages.

Note: Please check with your service provider to determine if your pager’s super maildrop feature is turned on.
