Portable home telephone
A cordless phone is a telephone with a handset that communicates wirelessly with a base station, allowing the user to move around while talking.
The base connects to a landline; the handset operates on rechargeable batteries.
Once a household staple, cordless phones have largely been displaced by mobile phones: I found an old cordless phone in my parents' junk drawer.
