  Next, base unit 10 simultaneously transmits a phone book data transfer start command to handset units 20 and 30, and handset units 20 and 30 send to base unit 10 an ACK signal indicating that the request has been recognized. Send.

  Further, the base unit 10 makes a request for confirming whether the free capacity of the storage units 22 and 32 of each of the handset units 20 and 30 is sufficient based on the amount of data corresponding to the number of phone book data to be transferred. The devices 20 and 30 transmit an ACK signal indicating that the free space is OK to the parent device 10. When the free space is NG, the telephone book data corresponding to the possible capacity is wirelessly transferred, or wireless transfer is not performed to the child device 20 or the child device 30 that has become all or NG as an error. .

  Next, the base unit 10 wirelessly transfers the telephone directory data stored in the storage unit 12 to the handset units 20 and 30 simultaneously one by one.

  At this time, for example, one phonebook data sequentially wirelessly transfers the destination phone number, destination name reading (Kana, etc.), kanji, etc., and also receives confirmation signals of the transfer contents from the slave units 20 and 30. Then, this sequence (sequence surrounded by a chain line in the figure) is performed for the number of transfers.

  When the transfer of all the cases is completed, the master unit 10 transmits a transfer end signal to the slave units 20 and 30, and the slave units 20 and 30 transmit an ACK signal indicating that the signal has been recognized to the master unit 10. Then the radio is disconnected.

  In this way, if two transmission / reception units 15 are used, the telephone directory data can be transferred to the slave units 20 and 30 at substantially the same time, and can be transferred more quickly than when one transmission / reception unit 15 is installed.
