An apparatus and method for receiving a quick paging message in a mobile station
wherein a controller for synchronizing with a second clock in a predetermined time
slot and transmitting a command for obtaining a synchronization at a frequency
of receiving the quick paging message where the MS selects a clock having a first
period as an operation clock under the second mode and under the first mode, selects
a clock having a second period earlier than the first period; a dual phase-locked
loop operating in response to the clock selected by the controller, for synchronizing
with frequency in response to the command from the controller; a oscillator for
oscillating at the synchronized frequency with the dual phase-locked loop; and
a radio frequency part for receiving the quick paging message over a forward quick
paging channel synchronously with the oscillating frequencies.
