A technique for activating a transmit mode of a communication device () is provided encompassing the steps of generating a light signal on an outer surface of the communication device; inhibiting the light signal; and activating the transmit mode of the communication device in response to the light signal being inhibited. A communication device () operating in accordance with this technique includes a light transmitting device (); and a sensor () for sensing light generated by the light transmitting device, the sensor disabling a transmit mode when light is detected and enabling a transmit mode when light is inhibited.

Method and apparatus for transmitting in a communication device

A communication device () includes a cordless telephone () and a two way radio (). The communication device () is adapted to place an active cordless telephone call in a low frequency mode in response to receiving an incoming two way radio communication. The communication device () is adapted to then establish communication within the two way radio communication. The communication device () periodically re-establishes the cordless telephone call to maintain communication with a cordless base station () until the two way radio communication is completed.

Communication device and method of operation therefore

A repeater unit ( ) operates in a multi-channel wireless communication repeater system and maintains a priority state ( ) for the repeater unit ( ). The repeater unit ( ) includes The prioritizer module ( ) further controls the repeater unit ( ) and in response to receiving a repeater priority code ( ) designating itself as a non-priority repeater unit.
