Abstract
In a radio communication apparatus for use in carrying out a receiving operation of selectively receiving a call signal specific to the apparatus, a counter is counted up one by one to produce a count each time when the call signal is received. The count is successively compared with a plurality of threshold values by a control section to determine a controllable perceptual notifying mode which may be at least one of an audible and a visual notifying modes. In the audible notifying mode, the control section varies a volume of an audible tone through a tone generator in dependency upon the count. In the visual notifying mode, display elements, such as light emitting diodes, provide visual displays which are different from one another and which are determined by the count. Such variations of the audible tone and/or the visual displays are helpful for notifying a possessor of reception of the call signal.
