Appeal No. 1997-0636 Application No. 08/312,959 The claimed invention relates to a selective call receiver which includes a memory for storing test mode setting data, the receiver being changed from an ordinary reception state to a test mode state when such setting data is present. More particularly, Appellant indicates at pages 4 through 6 of the specification that a battery saving operation is suspended when test mode data is present and enabled when test mode data is determined not to be present. Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as follows: 1. A selective call receiver comprising: a receiving unit for receiving a selective calling number allocated thereto; means for selectively enabling a battery saving operation of said selective call receiver; a memory for storing therein test mode setting data for setting the receiving unit in a test mode; a control switch for controlling data writing to said memory and initiating of said test mode; and control means for analyzing data read out from said memory through operation of said control switch and for suspending said battery saving operation to set said selective call receiver in the test mode when said control means determines said test mode data to be present. The Examiner relies on the following prior art: 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
