Multifunctional pager receiver capable of reducing the member of manual switches
 In a multifunctional pager receiver comprising a processing circuit (30) operable in a plurality of modes of operations, each mode is selected by manual switches (51, 62-64) smaller in number than the modes. A combination of successive manual operations of the switches changes the modes from an intermediate one to a final one. At least one of the switches is operated plural times. An operation announcement is stored in a message processor (32) included in the processing circuit and displayed in the intermediate mode on a display unit (71) so as to specify the following modes to be selected. A plurality of message signals are stored in a random access memory included in the message processor. A part of each stored message is successively and rapidly displayed on the display unit. A decoder cooperates with the message processor in the processing circuit to detect a call number signal assigned to the pager receiver and delivers a sequence of clocks to the message processor.
