About the digital security code
The cordless telephone uses a digital security code to provide protection against unwanted access to your base phone. The security code blocks other cordless handsets to make calls through your base phone. A random security code will be assigned automatically between your base phone and handset when you charge the battery pack for the first time.
That’s it!
Step 1

moving closer to the base or move base phone away from other noise sources.
• The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base phone should not be placed near or on the top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)
Battery duration
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
• approx. 7 hours when you use the handset continuously.
• approx. 7 days when the handset is in standby mode.
Notes
• The battery pack will gradually discharge over a long period of time, even if not in use.
• If you leave the battery pack in the handset without charging it, the battery pack will be completely discharged.
It may require several times of charging to recover its full capacity.
To obtain the best performance from the battery
Do not place the handset on the base phone after each call. The battery works best if the handset is returned to the base phone after two or three calls. However, do not leave the handset off the base phone for a long period of time as this will completely discharge the battery pack.
When to purchase a new battery pack
If the battery lasts only a few minutes even after 12 hours of charging, the usable life of the battery has expired and needs replacement. Contact your local Sony authorized dealer or service center, and ask for a Sony BP-T18 rechargeable battery pack.
Note
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.

If the handset battery becomes weak during a call
You hear a beep every three seconds and the TALK/BATT LOW lamp on the handset flashes.
The call will disconnect soon. Replace the handset on the base phone to charge.
For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full 12 hours.
Note that during the first 10 - 15 minutes of charging, the phone will be inactive, i.e., unable to make or receive a call.
After this initial 10 - 15 minutes, you may be able to use the phone, but the battery duration will be very short; thus it is recommended that you fully charge the battery before the next usage.

Making calls (continued)
To obtain the best speakerphone performance
• You may not be able to hear the other party’s voice in a noisy place. Therefore, use the speakerphone in a quiet room.
• Do not bring your hand or other object too close to the microphone or you will hear a shrill noise (“feedback”).
• When the speaker volume is loud, or the telephone has been placed close to a wall, you may find that the volume drops suddenly. This is due to a circuit in the telephone designed to protect against feedback. In such cases, lower the speaker volume slightly.
