Abstract

Abstract A transmitter and receiver (5) in a branch apparatus (3) of a cordless telephone (1) includes a modular connector (7) to which a modular connector (8) of a handset (6) is detachably connected. A facsimile apparatus (4) also includes a modular connector (13). Modular connector (13) is structured to be detachably connected to modular connector (7) when modular connector (8) of handset (6) is pulled out from modular connector (7) of transmitter and receiver (5) in branch apparatus (3). Connection of modular connector (13) of facsimile apparatus to modular connector (7) of the transmitter and receiver causes facsimile apparatus (4) to be coupled to master apparatus (2) through transmitter and receiver (5) so as to allow radio communication. As a result, facsimile apparatus (4) is enabled to transmit and receive picture data to and from a telephone line without using an acoustic signal
