An electronic paging receiver for reminding a user of an important event includes a time of day clock for recording the time when a data message is received. The paging receiver computes a future alert time to remind the user of the receipt of the data message. Additionally, the user may enter a future alert time to generate a future alert. Further, the paging receiver is capable of detecting a special time/date field in the received data message to automatically generate a future alert.

Paging receiver capable of reminding a user of an important message event

A display device has a single switch that transfers a stored message to a liquid crystal display and simultaneously activates a supplemental display lighting system. The supplemental lighting system is inhibited, however, when circuitry senses that ambient light conditions are sufficient to illuminate the display.
