    COMPTON, Calif.--July 3, 2001--Belkin, the leading manufacturer of computer peripherals and accessories, today announced the expansion of its extremely popular line of Gold Series wireless/cellular accessories.
    The Belkin Gold Series line, which features the award-winning Enhanced Mobile Power Cord and the Retractable Hands-Free Kit, will expand to include the new Retractable Mobile Power Cord, the Telescoping Hands-Free Kit, and the 900MHz Wireless Hands-Free Kit.
    First to enhance the line is the Belkin Retractable Mobile Power Cord (MSRP $29.99). Designed to enhance and replace the current Gold Series Enhanced Mobile Power Cord, it features 42 inches of ThinFlex(TM) retractable cabling that allows for a safe charge and which locks to the user's preferred length. Other features include a ratcheting neck that can easily adjust to any dashboard, four gold contacts to ensure maximum conductivity between the phone and the power source, and the Belkin proprietary Tactilite overmold, which ensures comfortable handling and a refined appearance.
    Next, the Belkin Telescoping Hands-Free Kit (MSRP $39.99) is designed for a sure fit while remaining comfortable. It eliminates Ear Duress Syndrome (EDS) with the Belkin proprietary SoftHold(TM) system earpiece and cheek rest. The extended 4-inch telescoping arm easily slides down to 2.5-inch in length and folds away for easy pocket storage. Other features include the OneTouch(TM) Button to activate voice dialing and to hang-up calls with compatible phones. For ease of use, the unit also features a volume control and mute button clip that clips to belts or waistbands for true phone and hands-free convenience. The included "snap on" ActiveGear(TM) accessories offer additional convenience, including the SturdyGrip(TM) Earhook and eyewear support. A convenient travel bag and ear pads are included.
    The new jewel of the Gold Series line is the Belkin 900MHz Wireless Hands-Free Kit (MSRP $99.99). It offers users crystal clear transmission expected of 900MHz technology and ensures a 10-foot operating range and standby time of over three days. The unit weighs only 32 grams, features the SoftHold(TM) system earpiece and cheek rest, and the OneTouch(TM) button for the activation and hang-up of calls with compatible phones. The wireless transceiver clips to the user's belt and secures the attached cellular phone.
