1. In a pager having network paging signal receiver circuitry for receiving a paging signal transmitted thereto by a network paging terminal, an improvement of access signal receiving circuitry for receiving a perceptible access signal formed at a source other than the network terminal and provided to said access signal receiving circuitry by way of a mass-market communication medium, the perceptible access signal formed of at least a selected one of an audio signal and an optical signal, the selected one of the audio signal and the optical signal of characteristics permitting perception thereof during transmission of the perceptible access signal to the pager, said access signal receiving circuitry comprising:

  • an access signal transducer for sensing the perceptible access signal, said access signal transducer further for converting the perceptible access signal, when sensed, into an electrical signal of values representative of values of the perceptible access signal; and

    a control device coupled to receive the electrical signal formed by said access signal transducer, the control device for generating control commands for controlling operation of selected functions of the pager responsive to values of the electrical signal.
