1. A radio handset comprising a housing having user
input means and a processor operable to perform a predetermined
function of placing the handset in the off-hook condition in
response to user input of a predefined actuation signal, wherein

of a predefined cancellation signal cancels performance of the
predetermined function, the housing comprising a key pad
including a plurality of keys mounted on a main body and an
extending portion mounted for movement between a first position
at which the handset is in the on-hook condition and in which a
group of the plurality of keys are concealed and a second
position at which the handset is in the off-hook condition and in
which the group of the plurality of keys are exposed, and wherein
the processor is operable to perform the predetermined function
in response to movement of the extending portion toward the
