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

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.
Connect the base unit
If you want to hang the base unit on the wall, see page 54.

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.

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.
