Provided is an electric apparatus, which has excellent convenience and operates by switching an operation mode according to the type of a communication device of a connection destination. The electric apparatus includes: a superimposition signal transmission portion which transmits, to a communication device, a superimposition signal obtained by superimposing a data signal on an operation signal; an operation mode switching portion which switches between a normal operation mode in which transmission of the superimposition signal is performed and a low current consumption mode in which transmission of the superimposition signal is not performed; and a current detection portion which detects a current value supplied from the communication device, wherein the operation mode switching portion switches the low current consumption mode to the normal operation mode when the current detection portion detects a current equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value in the low current consumption mode.
