Abstract: A cordless telephone including a base unit and a remote unit that are in wireless communication. The remote unit has a number keyboard whereby code numbers can be entered into the system. A pulse detecting network picks up and identifies the code numbers placed in the remote unit and, in response thereto, controls a variety of electrically responsive devices. The remote control function is carried out without interrupting the voice communication feature of the phone or tying up the subscriber's lines thus providing the user with a degree of mobility not found in similar telephone related control devices.
