Electronic selector and method for selecting desired functions and levels
First Claim
1. A selector for an electronic device having a plurality of functions with each function having a plurality of levels, including an ON/OFF function having an ON level corresponding to the electronic device being on and an OFF level corresponding to the electronic device being off comprising:
- a first switch,a second switch, andcontrol means responsive to actuation of said first and second switches for selecting said functions and said levels, wherein said control means operatively selects functions when said first switch is actuated first and maintained actuated and said second switch is then actuated, and said control means operatively selects levels when said second switch is actuated first and maintained actuated and said first switch is then actuated.

Abstract
This is a selector circuit for an electronic device such as a pager that has a plurality of functions with each of the functions having a plurality of levels. First and second switches are provided for selecting the functions and levels. A controller such as a microprocessor is responsive to the first and second switches for selecting the functions and levels. The functions are selected by first actuating the first switch and then actuating the second switch while the first switch is maintained actuated. Levels of selected functions are selected by first actuating the second switch and then actuating the first switch while the second switch is maintained actuated.
