              Application No. 08/370,222                                                                                 


                                                   BACKGROUND                                                            

                     The appellant's invention relates to a radio pager and a method of writing                          
              information in the ROM of the radio pager.  An understanding of the invention can be                       
              derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1, which is reproduced below.                                    
                     1 .    A method of writing information necessary for communication in a ROM of a                    
                     radio pager to which a particular type code is assigned by using a ROM writer,                      
                     comprising the steps of:                                                                            
                     (a)    storing in said ROM writer a single writing program for each of a plurality of               
                     types of radio pagers;                                                                              
                     (b)    electrically connecting said radio pager and said ROM writer;                                
                     (c)    confirming the connection of said radio pager and said ROM writer;                           
                     (d)    sending a type code request signal from said ROM writer to said radio                        
                     pager via said electrical connection;                                                               
                     (e)    sending, in response to said type code request signal, a type code signal                    
                     representative of said particular type code from said radio pager to said ROM                       
                     writer via said electrical connection;                                                              
                     (f)    causing said ROM writer to identify the type of said radio pager connected                   
                     thereto on the basis of said type code signal;                                                      
                     (g)    causing said ROM writer to initiate said writing program corresponding to                    
                     said type of said radio pager; and                                                                  
                     (h)    sending said information from said ROM writer to said ROM of said radio                      
                     pager to thereby write said information in said ROM.                                                





                                                           2
