Abstract:
A radio selective call receiver for receiving a signal, transmitted in a given cycle in terms of time unit, with synchronous data being set in respective predetermined positions, said radio selective call receiver comprising:synchronous data detection means for detecting synchronous data set for each unit of a series of a predetermined number of data formed by dividing said transmitted signal into a plurality of parts;a time counter for performing time setting and producing time information;time information comparison means for comparing synchronous data from the synchronous data detection means with the time information from the time counter to calculate an error; andtime information correction means for correcting the time information of the time counter so as to correct the error based on the output of the time information comparison means, including time interval selecting means for selecting a time interval, after the expiration of which the time information of the time counter is corrected on a regular basis, and means to enable a selection of one of a plurality of different time intervals, to change the time interval after which the time information of the time counter is corrected.
