That is, the wing 131a is brought into contact with the vertical surface 145b and the horizontal surface 145c of the guide rail 145 so that the first receiving portion 131 can be connected to the third feeding terminal F3. If the first housing part 131 is drawn out and is positioned at a specific position for replacing the first battery 191, the switch S1 is operated to turn on the first power source terminal F3 through the third power source terminal F3, The receiving portion 131 is fed. By doing so, the first accommodating portion 131 functions as a radiator in the second state.
In this case, the guide rail 145 more specifically refers to the rail 1452, and in the absence of the rail 1452, it refers to the guide 1451.
The first receiving part 131 is always connected to the third feeding terminal F3 and the third feeding terminal F3 is connected to one side of the third feeding terminal F3, (S1) for selectively supplying power to the first receiving portion 131 so that the first receiving portion 131 operates as an antenna only in the second state.
