DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In a telephone device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a keypad section 3 and a light emitting section 9 for converting key information into infrared information can be attached to and detached from a handset 7. In addition, the handset 7 includes a light receiving unit 10 that receives infrared information from the light emitting unit 9. The light emitting unit 9 is a key input information transmitting unit that converts key input information into a transmission signal and transmits the transmission signal.
Reference numeral 10 is a key input information receiving means for receiving the transmitted information. Other configurations are the same as those of the conventional device (FIG. 3). An example of the design of this handset 7 is shown in FIG.

This telephone device is used as follows. In the non-call state, as shown in FIG.
Attach the keypad section 3 to the. Therefore, when receiving a call, it can be used in this state.

On the other hand, at the time of making a call, the caller detaches the keypad section 3 from the handset 7, goes off-hook, and puts the handset on his ear, as shown in FIG. 2B.
