When the change key (27) is operated and detected by the control circuit (29) of the slave unit (2), a change signal is transmitted to the master unit (1) (steps C11, C12). The control circuit (13) of the parent device (1) receiving this change signal reads the next telephone number data from the telephone number area of the memory (10),
This is transmitted to the child device (2) (steps S8, 9). The subsequent steps are the same as steps C9 and C10 described above.

The above mode ends when the end key (24) is operated (steps C14, 15, S12).

By the way, the telephone number area of the memory (10) is for registering the telephone number frequently called by the user, and the combination of the access key (26) and the change key (27) enables the slave unit. The number can be confirmed through the liquid crystal display (28) of (2).

When the call key (23) is operated while the telephone number is being displayed by the access key (26), the control circuit (29) of the slave unit (2) sends a calling signal to the master unit (1). )) (Step C13, 25). The control circuit (13) of the parent device (1) which has received this calling signal sets the flag F to 1
After setting, it is determined whether the handset (6) is in a call (call mode of the base unit (1)) based on the output of the hook detection circuit (11). ), The switching circuit (4) is switched to the receiving circuit (3) and the transmitting circuit (8), and the telephone line (L) is connected (step S).
10, 14, 15). Upon receiving this response signal, the control circuit (13) of the child device (2) automatically transmits the telephone number data of the telephone number displayed on the liquid crystal display (28) to the parent device (1) (step). C26, 28). Control circuit (29) of the master unit (1) that received this telephone number data
Shifts to the call mode of the child device (step S18).
After that, the end key (24) is operated, and the control circuit (13) which receives the end signal adds 1 to the data in the number-of-calls area corresponding to the telephone number data (step S1).
9-22). When the number of calls is added, it is checked whether the telephone number data are arranged in the order of the number of calls,
If the number of times of calling is not in the descending order, the number of times of calling is replaced in the descending order (step S23). Therefore, in the above-described processing of steps C9 to C12, the calls are displayed in descending order of the number of outgoing calls.

When it is determined in step S14 that a call is in progress, the control circuit (13) of the master unit (1) sends a call busy signal to the slave unit (2) and enters a standby state (step S14).
16), and a child device (2) that receives the call signal
The control circuit (29) of is also in the standby state (step C2).
7).

The control circuit (29) of the child device (2), which detects the call key (23) by operating the call key (23) without operating the access key (26), operates with respect to the parent device (1). A calling signal is transmitted (C16, 17). The subsequent steps are the same as steps C28 to 31 and S14 to 23, except that in this case, the telephone number data is transmitted from the child device (2) by waiting for the operation of the ten keys (22). (Step C20) Also, when the end key (24) is operated after shifting to the call mode, it is determined whether or not the same telephone number data as the telephone number is stored in the memory, and it is stored. If so, the same processing as that in steps S22 and S23 described above is performed, and if it is not stored, the processing for adding the number of times of calling is not performed (steps S18 to 21). That is,
Even if the access key (26) is not used, the process of adding the number of times of calling is performed.
