ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for automatically limiting the amplitude output of a speaker for a mobile telephone when the telephone is in the active mode of operation. In a preferred embodiment, a tuned cavity in the stand-by mode operates in conjunction with the speaker to provide a higher than normal acoustic output. When the tuned cavity is moved away from the speaker, the acoustic output returns to the level equal to the speaker's normal output. In an electronic embodiment, a device switching the mobile telephone from the stand-by mode to the active mode also enables an amplitude limiter which limits the maximum acoustic output of the speaker to a level sufficient to prevent hearing discomfort or damage.
