Abstract
A radio selective calling receiver includes at least a loudspeaker, a function setting switch, a display unit, a timer, and a time-out display control section. The loudspeaker notifies an incoming call by generating a sound. The function setting switch is operated by a user to set various functions. The display unit displays a message accompanying the incoming call, and the set contents of a predetermined function of the various functions. The timer counts an elapsed time from the start of an operation of the function setting switch to the end of a time-out time. The time-out display control section causes the display unit to display a counted time, obtained by the timer, until the end of the time-out time.
