Speaker phone

A satellite microphone assembly formed by a base housing a microphone and a volume control electronics and an outer ring coupled with the base and rotatable about the base. The outer ring includes a center aperture having an actuatable button to toggle mute/unmute of the microphone disposed therein. A rotational sensor is supported by the base and configured to detect a rotation of the outer ring and to output information about a direction and a degree of rotation of the outer ring to the volume control electronics, thereby causing a rotation of the outer ring to affect a volume of a speaker.

Phone base for handset

A mounting apparatus including a base with a perimeter edge having at least one depression formed therein. A mounting plate can be detachably coupled with the base and have a corresponding perimeter edge with at least one displaceable protrusion formed thereon. The displaceable protrusion can have a biasing element configured to bias the displaceable protrusion away from the corresponding perimeter. At least a portion of the base perimeter edge is configured to compress the biasing element during rotation of the mounting plate relative to the base, thereby displacing the displaceable protrusion and wherein the displaceable protrusion is configured to engage the at least one depression.
