Providing an economical and versatile option to a hard-case transportable cellular phone, Clarion's 5100CT-SP "soft pack phone" quickly plugs into a car's cigarette lighter and, with an optional Ni-Cad battery pack, can also be used as a portable.

A memory autostore automatically stores a designated phone number into the next available empty memory location. With switchable auto answer, the 5100CT-SP automatically answers itself after three rings. A beeper can be set to sound at one-minute intervals during a conversation, a handy reminder of elapsed time. A five-bar graph indicates signal strength.

The black leather case with shoulder strap is lightweight and comfortable to carry. The 5100CT-SP has a suggested retail price of $499.95. The optional battery pack costs $79.95
