As shown in FIG. 1, according to the present invention, data received by a receiving unit 10 is input to a control unit 20. The control unit 20 compares the transmitted data with its own calling number, and when they match, activates the notification unit 40, and displays the received message content on the display unit 30,
It is configured to notify the carrier. The received message is stored in the memory 21 in the control unit 20, but the data in the memory is erased when the power is cut off.

者に電池電圧低下を知らせる。The battery voltage detector 60 monitors the voltage of the battery 80, and when the voltage falls below a preset voltage (1.0 V), notifies the control unit 20 that the battery voltage has dropped. The control unit 20 activates the notification unit 40 and causes the display unit 30 to display a message indicating that the battery voltage is low, thereby notifying the wearer of a low battery voltage.

The timer 50 counts the time from the detection of the low voltage, and when a preset time is reached, the control unit 20 operates to change the low voltage notification method. The EEPROM 22 has its own calling number,
A writable ROM for registering a telephone directory (can hold data even when power supply voltage is not applied).

時点からカウントを開始する。FIG. 2 is a timing chart showing the present invention. When the battery voltage detector 60 detects a drop in the battery voltage, the notification unit 40 issues a low-voltage alarm at a constant volume (10 seconds) at a high volume. At this time, the display unit 30 also displays that the voltage is low. The timer 50 starts counting from the time when the battery voltage is detected.

Further, when the timer 50 reaches 3 hours, the sounding cycle of the notification unit 40 is set to 1
It is 0 minutes, and the sound volume is low. Furthermore, when the timer 50 reaches 5 hours, the notification is stopped and only the display is performed.
At 7 hours, the display itself is turned off.

信データを保持することが可能である。A method of using the EEPROM 22 different from the present invention will be described. The EEPROM 22 is a writable ROM (can hold data even when no battery voltage is applied) for registering its own calling number and telephone directory, and also stores a received message in an empty area of the EEPROM 22. Also, it is possible to hold the received data even when the battery voltage is exhausted.

Received messages that the user does not want to be erased when the batteries are exhausted are prioritized by the push switch 70 and registered in the memory 21.

Then, the battery voltage further elapses, and the battery voltage detector 60 detects the preset voltage (0.9 V). Upon detection, the control unit 20 sets the EEP
The free area of the telephone directory in the ROM 22 is searched, and the contents of the received messages that the user does not want to be erased in the free area are registered in the EEPROM 22 in descending order of priority.

ことができる。Thus, even if the battery voltage is lost, the data in the memory 21 is erased, but the registered message is stored in the EEPROM 22. When a new battery is re-inserted, the message registered in the EEPROM 22 is registered again in the memory 21,
The message registration area in 2 is returned to the telephone directory unregistered area. In this way, the received message can be stored even when the battery voltage is exhausted. Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment,
Various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea.

Therefore, the backup time can be extended. Also, even if the battery voltage is completely lost, the carrier can register the necessary received message in the EEPROM, thereby preventing the message from disappearing. Further, by using the empty area of the EEPROM for registration of a received message, the same EEPROM
