         Re:      Offer of Employment

Dear David:

         It is my pleasure, on behalf of Telenetics Corporation (the "Company"),
to offer you the position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, which will
report to me as President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

         Your salary will be $10,833.33 per month, which will be payable on the
first and sixteenth day of each month, subject to customary payroll withholding
for taxes, social security and state disability insurance. Because you have
elected not to participate in the Company's insurance programs, the amounts
which we would otherwise contribute for you to our current HMO provider or any
other provider in the future, will be directly paid to you. In addition, you
will be eligible to receive a $300 per month automobile allowance to be included
in your regular check in the second pay period of each month.

         Your salary will be increased to $12083.33 per month after 12 months of
employment.

         You will have an opportunity to earn a bonus of $30,000 per year,
subject to achievement by the Company of certain corporate financial plans. The
plan benchmarks will be discussed with you later and any subsequent cash and/or
stock award will be determined by the Board of Directors on an annual basis.

         In recognition of the important role you will play in developing and
implementing the long term goals of the Company, you will be granted options to
purchase up to 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the
effective date of your employment. It is expected that the stock options will be
granted under the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan and shall vest as follows:
(i) 20% on July 19, 1999 and (ii) 20% on each of April 19, 2000, 2001, 2002 and
2003.

         In accordance with your request, the Company is willing to provide you
with four months salary continuation in the event of your involuntary
termination by the Company for reasons other than "cause", in the first 24
months of your employment. "Cause" is defined as insubordination, gross
negligence, unethical or criminal behavior or other serious breaches of your
duty as an executive of the Company. During this period you will not be entitled
to any incentive compensation and your stock options will not continue to vest.

         You will be entitled to two weeks paid vacation per year. As a
condition of your employment, you will be required to sign our standard Employee
Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement (the "Agreement").

         IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT YOUR EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY IS
