Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability of a facsimile equipment by detecting the moving speed of the equipment, performing no facsimile transmission when the moving speed of the equipment is larger than specific when facsimile transmission is selected, and automatically calling a destination afterwards when the facsimile communication is selected provided that specific conditions are met. SOLUTION: When a call instruction pulse is generated on a signal line 20f, a call circuit 22 of the facsimile equipment capable of radio facsimile communication receives telephone number information inputted to a signal line 20g and sends a DTMF selection signal out to a signal line 22a. Further, the movement detecting means of the control circuit 20 detects the moving speed of the facsimile equipment and if the moving speed of the facsimile equipment is larger than the specific value when facsimile communication is selected, an automatic calling means performs no facsimile communication and automatically call the destination afterwards when the facsimile transmission is selected provided that the specific conditions are met.
