Getting Started

Step 1

Setting up the base unit

Do the following steps:

• Choose the best location

• Connect the base unit

Choose the best location

Where you place the base unit affects the reception quality of the handset.

Away from television sets and other electronic equipment

Near a central location and on a level surface

Away from noise sources such as a window by a street with heavy traffic

Away from heat sources, such as radiators, airducts, and sunlight

Away from a microwave oven

Away from excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Away from a personal computer

Away from another cordless telephone

CAUTION: • Should you experience intermittent loss of audio during a conversation, try

Getting Started

moving closer to the base or move base unit away from other noise sources.

• The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base unit 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.

1 Slide open the battery

compartment lid of the handset.

2 Connect the battery connector

with correct polarity (black wire goes on right side and red wire goes on left).

3 Insert the battery pack, and

close the lid.

4 Place the handset on the base

unit. The CHARGE lamp lights up

when the handset is properly seated on the charge terminals of the base unit. Charge the battery pack for more than 12 hours so that the battery is fully charged. The CHARGE lamp remains lit even after charging is completed.

Page 10

Step 2: Prepare the battery pack (continued)

Battery duration

A fully charged battery pack lasts for:

• 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 when 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 to its full capacity.

• While charging, the battery pack warms up. This is not a malfunction.

To obtain the best performance from the battery

Do not place the handset on the base unit after each call. The battery works best if the handset is returned to the base unit after two or three calls. However, do not leave the handset off the base unit 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 Sony BP-T18 rechargeable battery pack.

Note

Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.

Caller ID Features

Understanding the Caller ID service

Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display before the call is answered. In order to use this feature, you must first subscribe to the Caller ID service. The name of this service may vary depending on your telephone company.

When you receive a call

The phone number appears on the display with the date and time as shown in the following example.

If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service, the caller’s name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).

Caller’s name Caller’s phone number The date and time received

When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the “TALK” display.

Note

If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the displayed phone number may not match the number you use to call the extension.

Tip

Even if the ringer of the handset is set to “RINGER OFF”, you can receive Caller ID data.

This is a new service that combines the two services.

Even though you now have a “Caller ID with call waiting” compatible phone, unless you subscribe to the combined “Caller ID with call waiting” service, you will not be able to see the name and number of the second caller.

When a new call comes in while you are talking, you hear two short beeps. The caller’s name and/or phone number of the new call appears on the display for about 20 seconds.
