A second attachment secures the cradle to a designated communication site such as in a vehicle. In another embodiment, the first attachment includes a security block for obstructing the release mechanisms of a latch on the cradle to secure the wireless handset to the cradle. The secured wireless handsets described are also applicable to non-vehicular communication sites where wireless handset removal from the communication site is a concern.
