Paging apparatus equipped with a clock function
First Claim
1. A paging apparatus comprising:
- time information generating means for measuring time and outputting measured first time information;
a combination switch having at least first, second and third switch positions, said third switch position being different in an operation direction from said first and second switch positions;
mode setting means for setting a time setting mode when a first operation for setting said combination switch at said first switch position and then changing said combination switch to said third switch position is performed, and for setting a paging mode when other operations are performed;
paging means for receiving a paging signal with said paging mode being set by said mode setting means, and informing a user of a call being made when an identification code included in said paging signal corresponds to the apparatus;
time-setting control means for replacing said first time information from said time information generating means with second time information input by a second operation which is a combination of a switching operation between said first and second switch positions of said combination switch and a switching operation to said third switch position, when said second operation is performed while said time setting mode is set by said mode setting means; and
time display means for displaying said first time information from said time information generating means when said paging mode is set by said mode setting means, and displaying a predetermined time pattern for entering said second time information when said time setting mode is set.

Abstract
A paging apparatus with a time information generating circuit comprises a combination switch having multiple switch positions in different operation directions, so that a time setting mode is set when a predetermined first operation is performed by the combination switch, and a paging mode is set other operations are performed. When a predetermined second operation is performed with the time setting mode set, time information measured by the time information generating circuit is replaced with time information input by the second operation. Even in the time setting mode, it is checked if a call is made to the apparatus. When there is such a call, a user is informed of this event without ignoring the occurrence of the call.
