DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (First Embodiment) In a cordless telephone apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. The setting initialization information 25 representing the initial state is provided in a storage area and stored therein. The setting initialization information reading means 26 for reading the setting initialization information 25 and the setting information changing means 24
To control the setting information 21 stored in the setting information storage means 22.
To the setting initialization information 25. Other configurations are the same as those of the conventional device (FIG. 5).

The normal operation of this cordless telephone device is as follows:
The setting information 21 stored in the slave unit is also the same as that of the conventional device, and some functions for which operation selection is possible.
Is read, and the operation is performed according to the setting.

However, when the setting information 21 is returned to the initial state, the operation of this apparatus is performed in the following procedure, unlike the conventional apparatus.

When a key operation for returning the setting information 21 to the initial state is performed on the operation unit 7, the CP that detects the key operation is operated.
U6 reads the setting initialization information 25 stored in the setting information storage means 22 by the setting initialization information reading means 26. Next, the CPU 6 activates the setting information initializing means 27 and sends out the read setting initializing information 25, and the setting information initializing means 27 stores the information in the setting information storing means 22 by using the setting information changing means 24. The stored contents are changed so that the set setting information 21 matches the setting initialization information 25.

As described above, in the cordless telephone device of the first embodiment, all the setting information 21 stored in the setting information storage means 22 is set at once by performing a predetermined key operation on the operation unit 7. Returning to the initialization information 25, all of the selectable operations are set to the operations in the initial state.

(Second Embodiment) The cordless telephone apparatus of the second embodiment stores the setting information 21 and the setting initialization information 25 by using the unused storage area of the call code storage means 12, thereby achieving the configuration. For simplicity.

In this cordless telephone apparatus, as shown in FIG. 2, a call code 11, setting information 21 and setting initialization information 25 are stored in a call code storage means 12, and a call code is read out from the call code storage means 12. The information is read through the means 13, the setting information reading means 23, and the setting initialization information reading means 26. The setting information changing means 24 changes the setting information 21 by acting on the call code storage means 12 storing the setting information 21. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment (FIG. 1).
