First Claim
1. The conversion of a conventional non-cordless telephone to a cordless telephone, which comprises:
- a the base of said non-cordless telephone including a handset cradle carried on said base and a switch hook operatively linked to said cradle;
b a first transmitter/receiver for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves and a respective terminal means electrically connecting said transmitter/receiver received in the terminal receptacle of said non-cordless telephone base;
c a replacement handset received in and resting directly on said handset cradle without any interfacing structural elements, said replacement handset including a second transmitter/receiver mounted within the replacement handset and effective for transmitting/receiving electromagnetic waves and for communicating wirelessly with the first transmitter/receiver;
d a battery and power saving circuit in said handset, said power saving circuit including a normally off relay means with means to close the switch contacts of said relay means that includes an multi-axis motion sensitive switch to detect movement of said handset; and

Abstract
A conversion kit, consisting of a two piece adaptor set, allows a conventional non-cordless telephone to be converted to a cordless telephone. A first piece consists of a unitary body which houses a transmitter/receiver therein and a conventional modular male telephone plug. The second piece consists of a transmitter/receiver built into a replacement handset. To covert a standard non-cordless telephone to a cord- less telephone, the coiled telephone handset cord, and the corded-handset are removed. The first transmitter/receiver body is plugged into the modular jack in place of the coiled cord, and the replacement handset is simply set into the cradle.
