Abstract: A portable telephone comprising an external antenna connector portion 7 for connecting it to an external antenna 2 can detect hook conditions by providing a detecting terminal 73 utilizing a shield portion 72 of the external antenna connector portion 7. In an on-hook condition where the portable telephone is mounted on an on-vehicle adapter 1, corresponding shield portions 72, 73 and 32 of the external antenna connector portions 7 and 3 provided on both the portable telephone and the on-vehicle adapter come into contact with each other. On the other hand, in an off-hook condition where the portable telephone is disengaged from the on-vehicle adapter or the on-vehicle holder, the corresponding shield portions are out of contact from each other. The hook conditions can be thus detected by detecting the change in the contact between the shield portions.

Abstract: In a battery charger device 1 for a portable telephone, a front pocket 11 suitable for a portable telephone 4 having a large battery pack 3, and a rear pocket 12 suitable for a large battery pack 3 are disposed. Rotatable levers 5 which are urged by spiral springs 6 are disposed in pocket back faces 11a. A small battery pack 2 and a portable telephone 4 having a small battery pack 2 are held by the levers 5. Since the levers 5 are rotated so as to be housed in the battery charger, the large battery pack 3 and the portable telephone 4 having the large battery pack 3 are held by the pocket back faces 11a. The rotatable levers allow a small battery pack and a portable telephone having a small battery pack, and a large battery pack and a portable telephone having a large battery pack to be selectively held in a fixed state. Therefore, either of a small battery pack and a large battery pack can be stably held.
