ABSTRACT:
A telephone apparatus has a human body approach sensor for sensing, for example, infrared rays from a human body to produce an approach signal in response to which a controller activates a lamp to illuminate, for example, a ten-key device on the telephone, thereby facilitating the use of the telephone in darkness. When the sensor operation is continued longer than a predetermined period, the controller automatically triggers an automatic dialing function of the telephone.
