Abstract
There is provided a mobile telephone including (a) an antenna receiving radio signals, (b) a display screen, (c) a voltage source, (d) a memory storing telephone numbers therein, (e) an interface through which an operator can set a low-voltage mode in which the mobile telephone is allowed to receive a call associated with predetermined telephone numbers, even if a voltage supplied by the voltage source is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold voltage, and (f) a controller detecting a telephone number out of a radio signal received through the antenna, comparing the thus detected telephone number to the telephone numbers stored in the memory, and determining whether a call associated with the detected telephone number is to be received, when the mobile telephone is set in the low-voltage mode. The provided mobile telephone makes it possible to receive a call in a predetermined telephone number, even if a voltage supplied from a voltage source is lower than a predetermined threshold voltage.
