Abstract

A cordless telephone system includes a control unit having a speaker, a microphone and control circuitry for selective operation in a "normal" mode for communications between the handset and an outside party, a "local answer" mode for communications between a party at the control unit and an outside party, an "intercom" mode for communications between parties at the control unit and the handset and a "3-way" mode for communications between parties at the control unit and handset and an outside party. A microprocessor so responds to ring detect, control and switch-generated interrupt signals as to obtain the desired communications.
