Abstract
An arrangment in a cellular mobile telephone apparatus includes a protective hatch or flip pivotably arranged on a housing of the apparatus. The flip is pivotable around an axial compartment in the housing and is arranged to physically cover at least part of a front side of the housing. The axial compartment includes a hinge which provides a mechanical connection between the flip and the housing and permits an electrical connection between the microphone and the printed circuit board of the telephone. The electrical connection between the microphone and a printed circuit board in the telephone housing includes a first wiring that leads from the microphone to a first contact. This first contact is fixedly arranged in the ear of the flip. A second contact rotatable in a hole in the axial compartment is connected to a second wiring that leads from the second contact to the printed circuit board of the telephone. When the first and second contacts are fixedly connected, they move together when the flip cover is rotated.
