ABSTRACT:
A computer-controlled portable radio communications device has RF and audio circuits controlled by a programmed computer in accordance with a predetermined modus operandi and includes an externally accessible multi-point electrical connector having input/output connections which communicate with the programmed computer. The computer is programmed to monitor the electrical impedance externally connected to at least one contact point of the connector and to alter the modus operandi of the portable radio system in response to such monitoring. In the exemplary embodiment, each of plural different types of accessory devices include a predetermined electrical impedance uniquely corresponding to that particular accessory device. The circuits are arranged so that no damage can be inflicted by accidental external electrical short circuits which the user may accidentally cause. Instead, an audible warning tone may be sounded if an improper electrical short circuit or other improper electrical impedance is connected a cross certain of the externally accessible contact points.
