摘要:
A cordless telephone includes a portable telephone and a base station. The portable telephone includes a voltage drop detecting circuit for detecting that a battery for supplying power to the circuit within the portable telephone is dropped in voltage to a predetermined value or less, and a control unit for controlling a transmission unit so that it transmits a voltage drop signal in accordance with an output from the voltage drop detecting circuit. When the voltage drop detecting circut detects the voltage-dropped state of the battery, a signal indicative of such state is sent to the base station.
