  • Patent number: 6631276
    Abstract: A base unit accommodates a radio terminal for making radio communications. This base unit has a recess for accommodating part of the radio terminal formed at least in two mutually orthogonal planes of the base unit body. An opening is formed at the inner side of the recess. Inside the base unit, a connector electrically connects and fixes the radio terminal. A rear part of the radio terminal is inserted through the opening. The base unit includes a lid for shielding the entire recess. The base unit body may include an external antenna connected to a cable having a terminal for connecting with an external antenna terminal provided in the radio terminal. This terminal may be disposed at a position corresponding to the external antenna terminal of the radio terminal of the lid. The base unit design is improved, invasion of foreign matter is prevented, and the radio reaching distance and directivity of the base unit are enhanced.
