Abstract
A selective call receiver (100) for transmitting information to an external electronic device (208), such as a personal computer, includes a memory (125) for storing a predetermined status menu including at least one status category associated with internal status information of the selective call receiver (108). When the selective call receiver (100) is interactively coupled to the external electronic device (208) and receives a user-initiated status command therefrom, the predetermined status menu is retrieved from the memory (125) and transmitted to the external electronic device (208).
