Abstract
The telephone (1) comprises a base (2) adapted to be connected to a telephone line, a first handset (4) connected to the base (2) by a flexible cord (5) and a second handset (6) connected to the base (2) by a radio link. To reduce the size of the base (2), the latter is formed with a cavity (11) in which the second handset (6) can be fully inserted, or at least substantially so. This cavity (11) communicates with the exterior of the base through an opening (11b) formed in one of the walls (2c) of the base's casing, such that the microphone and the earpiece of the second handset (6) are acoustically linked with the exterior of the base (2) and hence enable the second handset (6) to be used even when it is lodged in its cavity (11).
