Abstract
Abstract A booster and charger unit for a hand-held portable (HHP) telephone capable of preventing a casing of the unit from being heated to an excessive temperature. The casing has thereinside a charging device for charging a battery, which is installed in the telephone, and a temperature sensor responsive to the temperature of the casing. When the temperature of the casing sensed by the sensor rises to a predetermined level, charging by the charging device is interrupted or the charging current thereof is reduced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A booster and charger unit for a hand-held portable telephone comprising: an amplifying means for amplifying a transmitting signal; a charging means for charging a battery which is stored in the telephone; a casing for accommodating said amplifying means and charging means; a temperature sensor for sensing a change in temperature of the casing; and said charging means reducing its charging current to a predetermined value when a temperature of the casing sensed by said temperature sensor is elevated to a predetermined temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A booster and charger unit for a hand-held portable telephone comprising: an amplifying means for amplifying a transmitting signal; a charging means for charging a battery which is stored in the telephone; a casing for accommodating said amplifying means and charging means; a temperature sensor for sensing a change in temperature of the casing; and said charging means reducing its charging current to a predetermined value when a temperature of the casing sensed by said temperature sensor is elevated to a predetermined temperature.
