Abstract
A wireless selective call receiver includes an operation unit having at least one operation element which is operated by a user. A detecting unit detects a first predetermined operation of the operation element in a normal mode to generate a menu display signal, and detects a second predetermined operation of the operation element in a selection mode to generate an item designation signal. A control unit controls a display unit to display a predetermined type of data in the normal mode. The control unit responds to the menu display signal to set the selection mode and to control the display unit to display a first menu such that items of the first menu are scrolled while each of the items of the first menu is displayed one by one in a predetermined area. The control unit selects a specific one of the items of the first menu in the selection mode in response to the item designation signal inputted from the detecting unit when the specific item is displayed in the predetermined area.
