Abstract
Conventional paging receivers are provided with a circuit which, when a predetermined paging signal is received, produces an audible sound that alerts the user that he is being paged. The audible sound continues until the page is completed or until the user presses a reset button. In some situations, the audible sound is undesirable or unacceptable. This invention includes a switch which, in a store position, prevents the receiver from producing an audible sound when a paging signal is received. An associated circuit stores or registers the paging signal. When the switch is returned to its normal position, the audible sound is produced. A lamp may be included to indicate that a paging signal is received.
