Abstract
A pager unit that can receive a message when it is turned off. A power supply of the pager unit is turned on by a control unit prior to the time scheduled to receive a message, and then turned of f after the message has been received. Accordingly, the pager can receive a message during the time it is scheduled to be turned off, conserving battery power while allowing it to receive scheduled messages. The receiving time for receiving messages can be arbitrarily set via a time-setting changing message received while the pager is turned on.
