The lower end of the first portion 222 of the recess 200 has charging contacts 228 while the lower end of the second portion 224 of the recess has charging contacts 226. The location of the charging contacts 186, 188 in the lower end of the handset 100 and the location of the charging contacts 228 in the lower end of the first portion 222 of the recess 220 is such that the charging contacts 228 are in juxtaposition with the charging contacts 186 in the handset when the handset is placed in the first portion with the front 110 of the handset facing toward the base 200 and in juxtaposition with the charging contacts 188 in the handset when the handset is placed in the first portion with the front of the handset facing away from the base. Similarly, the location of the charging contacts 226 in the lower end of the second portion 224 of the recess 220 is such that the charging contacts 226 are in juxtaposition with the charging contacts 186 in the handset 100 when the handset is placed in the second portion with the front 110 of the handset facing toward the base 200 and in juxtaposition with the charging contacts 188 in the handset when the handset is placed in the second portion with the front of the handset facing away from the base.
