This is a pager that I used over 20 years ago. I tried putting batteries in it for the first time in a while. The red light came on, a sound played, and it displayed as shown in the picture. The batteries are for testing purposes only and are not included. The contract has long since expired, so I think it could be used for retro display purposes. I hope that those who understand this will consider purchasing it. I think it's in relatively good condition for an old item.
