Charging indicator on the battery pack
A red light comes on when charging starts. The light turns green,
after about 3 hours, when charging is complete. But, it may vary
depending on certain conditions e.g. If your phone is switched on or
temperature is beyond operational range. As an energy saving
measure, disconnect the AC adaptor from the mains socket and from
the phone after charging.
The battery icon on the display indicates charging status. When the
battery is almost completely charged, the battery icon shows all bars.
However, this display shows an approximate indication only, check the
indicator on the battery pack (refer to the above) to confirm whether or not
the battery pack is fully charged.
Important
• If the red light on the battery pack blinks, reconnect the AC adaptor and reinsert
the phone (or the battery pack). If you repeat this process several times and the
indicator continues blinking, the battery pack might be defective. Stop charging
the battery pack immediately and replace it.
• Use only the Sony-specified CMD-MZ5 battery pack and charger. Your battery is
equipped with short circuit protection. If you short your battery accidentally,
charge the battery immediately to unlock the short circuit protection.
Usage time
When your battery pack is nearly discharged the battery icon on the
display blinks and the phone beeps to inform you that only a short
amount of calling time remains.

Connecting to the Network
After successfully entering your PIN code, your phone searches for an
available GSM network. The network search is automatic, but may take a
few seconds (see also “Main Menu Operations-Settings-Preferences” page
64).
You are ready to make and receive calls when the
Network Operator's name appears on the display.
The following indicates the strength of the received network signal. If the
signal is very weak, there is a risk of losing service.
Strong signal Weak signalNo service
If you cannot obtain service
One reason for failure to obtain network service is that the reception
strength may be too weak. Try moving to a higher elevation, to a window
or open space. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the antenna.
Roaming
If you are out of range of your “Home” Network Operator, especially
when you are abroad, another Network Operator may be selected
automatically, subject to signal strength and roaming agreements between
Network Operators. Contact your Network Operator/Service Provider for
details.

capacity and specifications of the SIM card.
Note
• You can make the same set up as Phone memory for names and numbers which
are saved in SIM card, however, information other than names and numbers is
saved in Phone memory. You can save these data in only one SIM card.
• Names stored in the Phone memory with several phone numbers are in the
Phone memory.
• Names stored in the SIM card with several phone numbers are in the SIM card.

searches. You can save up to 10 groups with each group having its
own name and icon.
Name/Number (above illustration 2)
You can save up to 3 numbers and icons for each name. An icon
indicating where the name is saved, either to the SIM card or to the
Phone memory is displayed to the left of the name.
