Abstract
Abstract A terminal device (1) sends/receives data and voice signals through a low speed circuit (7) to/from another device (2), while switching automatically data and voice signals. The terminal device (1) comprises a data sender/receiver (3), a voice sender/receiver (9), a modulator/demodulator (4), and an automatic mode switch (8). The automatic mode switch (8) includes a circuit (811) disposed between the data sender/receiver (3) and the modulator/demodulator (4) for detecting special data such as flags from received data coming from the modulator/demodulator (4), a circuit (812) for making a logical product of the output of this detecting circuit (811) and a detection signal of the received carrier and means for separating the voice sender/receiver from the circuit and transmitting a sending request for data sending/receiving use. Further switching over from the voice sending/receiving mode to the data sending/receiving mode is effected by key operations, etc.
