Carry case having paging circuitry section
First Claim
1. A carry case and electronic device in combination, wherein a first pager section and a second pager section form a pager that is fully functional, the combined carry case and electronic device comprising:
- the carry case including,the first pager section, the first pager section including a pager controller andelectrical interface contacts for interfacing to the electronic device; and
the electronic device including,an interface portion having the second pager section and electrical interface contacts for coupling to the carry case'"'"'s electrical interface contacts, the second pager section including RF circuitry.

Abstract
A carry case (102) for transporting an electronic device, such as a radio (100) or controller module (300), and providing paging capability when combined with the electronic device. The carry case includes a housing and contained within the housing is a first part or first section of a pager while the electronic device contains a second part or second section of the pager. Electrical interface contacts (504) located within the carry case (102) and electrical interface contacts (204) located within the electronic device allow for the paging circuitry to connect and form a complete pager. The electrical interface contacts of the electronic devices are common so that either can be combined with carry case (102) to provide either a radio and pager combination or a pager only option.
