Abstract: A unique apparatus for coupling radio frequency (RF) signals from a wireless communication device (200) to an external device by way of an I/O port (116). In particular, a connector having three adjacent contact elements (238) couples signals to an external device wherein the first and third contact elements (239, 241) are electrically coupled to a ground plane (302) and wherein the second or middle contact element (240) is electrically coupled to a conductive RF signal path (344). The ground plane and the conductive path (334) are preferably on a printed circuit (pc) board which is preferably a three layer board with the conductive path (334) located between two ground planes (302, 352). The connector is substantially covered with a shield (230) coupled by legs (248) to the ground plane (302) at apertures (332). A mating connector (400) also includes a shield (430) which is commonly grounded. The mating connector preferably includes an internally located coaxial connector (412) and cable (414) to minimize loss of RF communication signals. Components of the connectors (116, 400) are selectively grounded to eliminate RF interference and establish a reliable RF ground reference to a pc board (300) of the wireless communication device and the coaxial connector. The connectors also include latching members (405) and apertures (250) for firm coupling therebetween.

Abstract: A portable cellular radiotelephone (100), which is powered by main and auxiliary batteries (101, 102) in an operating state. The main and auxiliary batteries (101, 102) include respective memories (402, 410) for storing a 64- bit registration number and 1024 bits of data for identifying the type and brand of such batteries. Memories (402, 410) store a laser-engraved 64-bit registration number and 1024 bits of data. In order to uniquely identify the batteries (101, 102), the 64-bit registration number includes a twelve-bit brand code having a predetermined brand code value and an eight-bit type code having a predetermined type code value, and the 1024 bits of data include a unique multi-character message. By identifying the unique brand code, type code and multi-character message when a battery is inserted into portable device (100), it can be insured that the portable device (100) will be operated with a reliable and safe battery. Otherwise, the portable device is turned off and the battery is not charged.

Abstract: A battery 101 has a memory 402 storing data identifying the battery type (NiCd, NiMH, alkaline, or Li-ion) and brand and also storing a multi-character message. The type and brand data and the message must match predetermined data before the battery can be used or charged, whereby only batteries which are known to be reliable and safe can be used or charged. A portable apparatus, particularly a portable cellular radio telephone, is powered by removable main and auxiliary batteries 101, 102 having respective memories 402, 410 storing such data. The apparatus is powered down if it detects that a battery with non-matching data is attached, and charging of a battery by an internal charger circuit 444 (or by an external charger) is terminated if the battery does not have the matching data. When the apparatus is in an operating mode it is powered by an external supply 430, if present. If the supply 430 is absent, the apparatus is first powered by the auxiliary battery 102 and then by the main battery 101 when the auxiliary battery voltage has dropped to a predetermined level. The charging circuit 444 first charges the main battery from the external supply 430 for a predetermined time at a regulated current, as determined by data in the memory 402. The auxiliary battery 102 is then similarly charged, followed by maintenance charging of both batteries. A controller 306 detects the presence of either battery 101, 102 by a voltage drop across respective thermistors 406, 414 therein.
