Paging device with test and scan modes
First Claim
1. A paging device for receiving information and including a test mode for determining the receiving characteristics of the device and a scan mode for scanning a frequency range within which said information exists in determining the frequency of the information, comprising:
- receiving means for receiving said information at a receiving frequency, said receiving means operable for being set at different receiving frequencies;
control means for setting said frequency of said receiving means during said test mode to a predefined test frequency, said predefined test frequency being determined by said control means without said device entering said scan mode; and
means coupled to said control means for conserving energy consumption of said paging device during said test mode.

Abstract
A paging device for receiving information and including a test mode for determining the receiving characteristics of the device and a scan mode for scanning a frequency range within which the information exists in determining the frequency of the information. A receiver within the device for receiving information at a receiving frequency can be set at different receiving frequencies. A control unit sets the receiving frequency during the test mode to a predefined test frequency. The predefined test frequency is determined by the control unit without the device entering the scan mode.

57. A method for testing the receiving characteristics of a paging device, said device operable for receiving information during at least a test mode and a scanning mode and including receiver means for receiving said information and control means for controlling said receiver means wherein during said test mode said receiving characteristics are tested and during said scan mode a frequency range is scanned within which said information exists in determining the frequency of the information, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving at said receiving means during a preparatory stage of said test mode a first test packet of information including frequency data corresponding to a predefined test frequency; determining the frequency of said predefined test frequency without entering said scan mode; setting a receiving frequency of said receiver means for receiving information at said predefined test frequency; receiving at said receiving means during a main testing stage of said test mode at least one second test packet of information at said predefined test frequency following setting of said receiving frequency at said predefined test frequency; processing said at least one second test packet of information to determine said receiving characteristics; and conserving energy consumption of said paging device during said test mode. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)
