A handset is the part of a telephone that a person holds to their ear and mouth to communicate. It typically consists of a speaker for hearing the other person's voice and a microphone for speaking. In traditional landline phones, the handset is attached to the base by a cord, while in cordless phones, the handset is wireless and can be used from any location within the range of the base station.

The idiom "under the radar" originates from military aviation, referring to flying at an altitude or in a manner that avoids detection by radar systems. The phrase has since evolved into a metaphorical expression, signifying actions or activities that go unnoticed or escape attention, often intentionally. In a broader context, "under the radar" suggests a subtle or inconspicuous approach, allowing someone or something to operate discreetly or avoid scrutiny.
