Marketed to “Generation X” as cutting edge technology, the Beepwear is likely the first pager-watch in Canada to combine the functions of a pager and the portability of a wrist watch. It comes with Timex’s “Takes a licking and keeps on ticking!” guarantee. Présentée à la "génération X" comme une technologie de pointe, la Beepwear est probablement la première montre-téléavertisseur au Canada à combiner les fonctions d'un téléavertisseur et la portabilité d'une montre-bracelet. Elle est assortie de la garantie Timex "Prend une raclée et continue à faire tic-tac".
Function
A pager watch which combines numeric and word paging with the features of a digital wrist watch. Une montre téléavertisseur qui combine la téléavertissement numérique et textuel avec les caractéristiques d'une montre-bracelet numérique.
Technical
Operating on Motorola’s FLEX one-way paging network on freq. 931.7375 MHz, the Timex/Motorola Beepwear pager watch holds up to sixteen, 104-character alphanumeric messages, plus 3 information services, new page reminders, group and duplicate messages. The watch functions include time, date, day of week, two time zones, stopwatch, alarm and an “Indiglo” night light function. The watch-pager weighs 1.3 ounces. The wrist band can be taken off and the watch worn as a locket or on a belt clip.
