Abstract
A paging receiver is provided having an information setter that includes a memory device for storing call numbers assigned the receiver to enable it to determine when it has been individually selected by a radio paging message. In addition to the call numbers, the memory device also stores receiver performance information which selects which of several possible means are used to indicate that a message has been received. A decoder, preferably in the form of a microprocessor, stores information contained by the information setter in a separate register or memory device contained in the decoder. Once the information has been read from the information setter into the decoder it effects control of the receiver'"'"'s receiving operation, as well as the receiver'"'"'s selective response to paging messages.
