Abstract
A safe cordless telephone with a hands-free speakerphone is provided for use in showers or when taking a bath. The user-friendly cordless telephone can be readily attached and removed from any portion of the shower/bath unit, such as: a shower wall, shower door, sliding shower panel, towel rack, bracket, holder, or shower head pipe. The shower speaker telephone can also have a radio, interom, clock, and a display window to display the telephone numbers of outgoing and/or incoming telephone calls. The dependable cordless telephone is made of an impact-resistant plastic capable of withstanding water pressure and is insulated to prevent electrical shock. A water-resistant antenna extends upwardly from the telephone housing. A battery seal is positioned about the battery chamber to prevent water from entering into the battery chamber. An elastomeric gasket is snugly positioned about the front and back of the handset to prevent water from entering into the interior of the handset and shorting the telephone circuitry. The base unit is located away from the shower and has a base antenna and a battery charger, as well as other features.
