Abstract
A communications device is configured to alert its user when the status of a wireless accessory meets certain conditions. In an example embodiment, when the wireless accessory is removed beyond the proximate area where the communications device is located, the communications device issues an alert to indicate that the communications device may be moving away from the wireless accessory or the wireless accessory may be moving away from the communications device. An exemplary situation includes the user of a mobile phone and a wireless headset accessory. In the example, the user keeps the mobile phone on his or her person. If the user puts down the wireless headset and walks away from the wireless headset, the mobile phone alerts the user.
