INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have just purchased a BRAVO

CLASSIC pager by Motorola, world leader in paging

products.

HOW CANYOU USE A BRAVO CLASSIC PAGER

• Give your pager number to friends and family.

When they call your pager number, they enter the

number where they can be reached from a tone-

type telephone. This number is then displayed on

your pager, allowing you to be in touch wherever

you go.

• Include your pager number in your answering

machine or voice mail message. Receive important

messages immediately without checking your

answering machine or voice mail.

• Leave your pager number at your children’s school

and with the babysitter so you can always be

reached.

• Create “code” messages with numeric patterns to

send someone special a secret note. Be creative!

• If you have a cellular phone, give out your pager

number instead of your cellular number.This helps

reduce your monthly cellular bill.
