          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:                        
                                          2
