Abstract
A limited-capability wireless terminal that is particularly well adapted for use in emergency situations, recreational activities and occasional calls is disclosed.

The detachable wireless terminal is small enough and light enough to be worn around a user'"'"'s neck, received by a lanyard or a necklace. The wireless terminal detachably couples to a relatively larger docking device, which can be used to program it.
