I have a Bravo Beeper through a company called USAMobile in Cleveland, Ohio. My office gave me it and did not give me any instructions either. Here is what I have found: I am sure you know how to call up your pager and enter a phone number but what many people do not know is that you can insert blank spaces or '-' in the display also. To insert a '-' in the display you simply press a "*". To insert a blank space you press two "*" and to erase what you have already put in and start over press 3 "*". You Press: You Get: ---------- -------- 1234567 123-4567 123*4567 123-4567 123**456*7890 123 456-7890 123*4567**111 123-4567 111 12345698*** to try again! This can useful for a few things. Our office uses it to code our pages. For example, if it is an important message and requires immediate attention they will page with the phone number followed by a blank and then '111'. If the call is not that important or if we have a message waiting they may use "222". I think I have a copy of the booklet in the office but I will not be in until Saturday. I could fax it to you then if you like. I hope this helped! jeffery l wisniewski The Ohio State University DISCLAIMER: My ideas are my own.
