An adjustment time reduction mode of reducing adjustment operation time is provided such that a user can set the adjustment time reduction mode in which a user arbitrarily reduces the adjustment operation time, depending on the user's situation. An apparatus performing adjustment operation at a predetermined timing, monitors a timing at which the adjustment operation is to be performed and visually notifies a user of the timing at which the adjustment operation is to be performed before execution of a job requested by the user. When the adjustment time reduction mode is set, the apparatus reduces a time for the adjustment operation during execution of the job requested by the user, and the apparatus is caused to operate in the adjustment time reduction mode until the job is completed.

A laser driving method is adapted for driving a plurality of laser emitting devices. A first current to be supplied to each of the plurality of laser emitting devices is always generated. A plurality of second currents controlled according to a control signal supplied from the outside are generated when necessary. The plurality of second currents are supplied to the respective laser emitting devices under supply of the respective first currents, thereby making the laser emitting devices emit respective laser beams. The plurality of laser emitting devices are caused to emit the laser beams in time division at predetermined timing to detect each of emitted light amounts by one laser monitor. Adjustment is made to at least one of the first current and the second current supplied to each of the laser emitting devices according to a plurality of detected light amounts detected. Supply of the current to the laser emitting devices not driven is stopped when the plurality of laser emitting devices are adjusted in light amount in time division.

An antenna for a portable radio unit includes a helical element, a rod-like whip element, a helical element power supply terminal, a whip element power supply terminal, a ground conductor, and a ground connection terminal. The helical element is arranged on a portable radio unit housing, and its diameter, pitch, and length are set in accordance with a carrier frequency having a wavelength .lambda.. The whip element is extended and stored by reciprocating inside a helical portion of the helical element, and is completely stored in the portable radio unit housing. The whip element has a length of .lambda./2. The helical element power supply terminal is connected to one end of the helical element to supply power only to it when the whip element is stored. The whip element power supply terminal is arranged at a predetermined position of the helical element to supply power to the whip element through the helical power supply terminal and the helical element when the whip element is extended. The ground conductor is arranged on a lower end portion of the whip element through an insulating portion. The ground connection terminal grounds the ground conductor when the whip element is extended.

In a system having plural CPUs, at least one of which is continuously operating and at least another of which is intermittently operating, autonomous counters monitor counter reset signal indicating normal operation of respective CPUs, each counter producing a CPU reset signal when it fails to receive a counter reset signal within a predetermined time period. To prevent erroneous indication of a malfunction and thus erroneous resetting of the CPUs when the intermittently operating CPU does not produce a counter reset signal within the predetermined time period while it is in its normal, non-operating state, a control circuit is provided to supply the autonomous counter monitoring the intermittently operating CPU with the counter reset signals produced by a continuously operating CPU while the intermittently operating CPU is in its non-operating state. The control circuit is advantageously used in portable mobile telephone sets and portable transmitter-receiver sets controlled by CPUs some of which are intermittently operated to save battery power.

In a portable radio communication apparatus comprising a handset (20) having a side surface (23) and a recessed surface (24), first and second antennae (51 and 52) of different resonance frequencies are fixed to the recessed surface by first and second conductive plates (55 and 56), respectively. First and second conductive lines (61 and 62) connect a common conductive line (63) to the first and the second antennae, respectively. The common conductive line is connected to an electro-audio and audio-electro converting device (30) to feed a transmitting electric signal to the first and the second antennae and to receive the received electric signal from the first and second antennae. The first and the second antennae have first and second antenna widths (W.sub.1 and W.sub.2), respectively. The first and the second conductive plates have first and second plate widths, respectively, and first and second axes centrally of the first and the second plate widths, respectively. The first and the second plate widths are not greater than the first and the second antenna widths, respectively. The first and the second axes are spaced wider than a half of a sum of the first and the second antenna widths.
