However, in a modified example of the second embodiment, the setting information K1 can be deleted by the operating device 110 alone. In this case, the control unit 118b changes the information in the memory unit 18c when the first operation unit 112a and the second operation unit 112b are simultaneously operated. In one example, the control unit 118b deletes the information in the storage unit 18c.

<Example 3> Embodiment 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 6 . The configurations of the third embodiment that are common to those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same symbols as those of the first embodiment, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6 , in the wireless system 200 of the third embodiment, an operating device 210 may be provided instead of the operating device 10 included in the wireless system 1 of the first embodiment. In addition to the configuration of the operating device 10, the operating device 210 further includes a detection unit HA that detects the approach of the magnetic body MA. Although the detection unit HA is, for example, a Hall element, it is not limited thereto, and may be configured to output a signal in response to the approach of the magnetic body MA. Although the magnetic body MA is, for example, a permanent magnet, it is not limited thereto, and it is only necessary to have a configuration of a magnetic field that can be detected by the detection unit HA when the operation device 210 approaches.

In the case where the control unit 218b of the third embodiment operates the operation unit 12 in a state where the detection unit HA detects that the magnetic substance MA is close to the operation device 10, the control unit 218b performs the operation without the proximity of the magnetic substance MA to the operation device 10. The operation signal Q1 is transmitted to the wireless communication unit 18 a depending on the operation of the operation unit 12 . The operating device 110 has the same configuration as the operating device 10 except for the points mentioned above.

As shown in FIG. 6 , in the wireless system 200 of the third embodiment, a communication device 220 may be provided instead of the communication device 20 included in the wireless system 1 of the first embodiment. The communication device 220 is provided with a control unit 224, and the control unit 224 is a case where the first communication unit 22 receives a signal that the operation unit 12 is operated in a state where the detection unit HA detects that the magnetic body MA is close to the operation device 10. When the signal Q1 is operated, the response signal QA1 including the cancel command is transmitted to the first communication unit 22 . The control unit 218b deletes the setting information K1 corresponding to the response signal QA1 received by the wireless communication unit 18a. As mentioned above, the communication device 220 has the same configuration as the communication device 20 of the first embodiment except for the points mentioned above.

Thus, in the control unit 224 of the third embodiment, when the first communication unit 22 receives the operation signal Q1 related to the operation of at least one operation unit 12 of the operation device 210 in the state where the magnetic body MA is close to the operation device 210, The first communication unit 22 is controlled so as to transmit a response signal QA1 including a change command.

In addition, the operation device 210 may be the operation device 110 of the second embodiment, and may include the first operation part 112a and the second operation part 112b. In this case, the operation signal Q1 is sent in response to the operation of at least one of the first operation part 112a and the second operation part 112b.

The wireless system 1A of the third embodiment does not include the terminal device 40 . Therefore, the storage unit 26 of the third embodiment does not store the setting information K3 used for communication with the wireless communication unit 42 of the terminal device 40 . The wireless system 200 has the same configuration as the wireless system 1 except for the matters mentioned above.

<Modification of Example 3> In Embodiment 3, when the setting information K1 is deleted, it is accompanied by the wireless communication between the operating device 210B and the communication device 220 . However, in the modified example of the third embodiment, the setting information K1 can be deleted by the operating device 210 alone.
