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.
You can set an alert for each maildrop (indicated on the Status screen by
O
).
However, the default is no alert (
K
). For more information about how to set a
maildrop alert, see “Setting the Alert for a Specific Maildrop” on page 20.

Press
u
to display the Maildrop message. If your pager is equipped with
Maildrop history, the next screen is the Maildrop history list. This is a list of
up to eight different messages for this maildrop. The most recently received
message is displayed first (
K
), followed by up to seven history messages (
U
).
Note: Unique to maildrops, when a new message is received, the newest one
(
K
) is displayed at the top of the list. The older message is moved down to
one of the history slots (and is now displayed with
U
). When this happens,
the older (history) message is considered to have been read, whether it
actually has been or not. The maildrop history files may not be available on
your pager if this feature is not enabled by your service provider.
If
[
is pointing to the message you want to read, go to Step 4. Otherwise,
press
w
until the message you want is at the top of the list.
Note: The list moves up; the indicator does not move down.
