A control section 34 of the slave set 30 detects an electric field strength of a transmission signal from the master set 10 and sends a command of an automatic answering set when the detected electric field strength is a prescribed level or below and the state of the prescribed level or below is detected for a prescribed time. The master set 10 receives the command to set an automatic answering function. The control section 34 of the slave set 30 sends a command of releasing the automatic answering setting when it is discriminated that the electric field strength of a transmission signal from the master set 10 is a prescribed level or over. |
