Abstract
A system includes a communication device, an external speaker and a remote control device. The external speaker connects to the communication device and converts audio signals received from the communication device into audible sound. The remote control device includes a microphone and controls operation of the external speaker via control signals transmitted over an air interface. The remote control device further sends audio signals received from the microphone to the external speaker via the air interface. The external speaker further sends the audio signals to the communication device.
