Abstract

A base station or handheld device can be equipped with a latch system or a multi-hinge arrangement for electrical contacts. The latch system can be adjustable between different latching configurations in which the base station and handheld device are retained together by different degrees. The multi-hinge arrangement can provide rotation about multiple axes to provide rolling contact between electrical contacts of the base station and the handheld device.
