with correct polarity (black wire goes on lower side and red wire goes on upper side).

3 Hook the cords and insert the

battery pack. Then close the lid.

4 Connect the AC power adaptor

to an AC outlet and place the cordless handset on the charger .

The CHARGE lamp on the charger lights up when the cordless handset is properly seated on the charge terminals of the charger. 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.

continued

Getting Started

Page 12

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)

Battery duration

A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:

• Approx. 6 hours when you use the cordless handset continuously

• Approx. 6 days when the cordless 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 cordless 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 cordless handset on the charger after each call. The battery works best if the cordless handset is returned to the charger after two or three calls. However, do not leave the cordless handset off the charger 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-T24 rechargeable battery pack.

Note

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

Step 4

Entering the area code

When you use this phone for the first time, or move to an area that has a different area code, you must enter the area code. Otherwise, you cannot use some functions of this phone and the Caller ID functions.

This is also necessary because the phone must be able to select an area code to properly dial a call from the Caller ID list.

Depending on your region, enter the 3-digit area code as follows: Case 1.

If 7-digit dialing (no area code) is accepted for local calls in your area, see “To enter your home area code” below.

If you live in an area where calls from or to other local areas can also be made by 10-digit dialing (area code + number), you can register up to 5 local area codes with this telephone to take advantage of this system. See “To enter the local area code (For 10 digits phone number users)” on page 15.

Case 2. If 10-digit dialing (area code + number) is required for all local calls in your area, see “To enter the local area code (For 10 digits phone number users)” on page 15.

Notes

• When making a call on the cordless handset, “ ” appears on the display

indicating the receiver sensitivity with the base phone. Three bars indicate a good reception, no bar indicates a bad reception. When calling from an area with poor reception, you may experience interference or the call may be disconnected, so try to use the cordless handset in areas that have a good reception.

• When you increase the sound volume, in some cases the back ground noise

may be increased as well. You should adjust the volume accordingly.

• If the cordless handset beeps every second during a conversation and “ ”

appears on the display, move closer to the base phone; otherwise, you will hear five short error beeps and “OUT OF RANGE” will appear on the display, and the call will be disconnected after 30 seconds.

• While talking with an outside caller via the base phone, you cannot make a

call with the cordless handset. If you press (TALK), “BASEPHONE IN USE” appears on the display and you will hear a busy tone.

• When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.

Or, to continue your phone conversation with the base phone, press (HOLD) on the cordless handset to hold the line, and then pick up the handset or press (SPEAKERPHONE) on the base phone.

For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full 12 hours.

Note that during the initial charge time (approx. 10 minutes), “PLEASE WAIT...” and “BATTERY LOW” appear on the display and the cordless handset cannot be used.

After “BATTERY LOW” turns off, you may be able to use the cordless handset, but the battery duration will be very short; thus it is recommended that you fully charge the battery before next use.

• 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 base phone 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.

Caller ID Features

Understanding the Caller ID service

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

To use this feature, be sure to enter the area code (see page 13).

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 or if the phone number stored in the one-touch dialing, or the Phone Directory matches with the Caller ID data phone number, the caller’s name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters). The caller’s name will appear by the name stored in the one-touch dialing or Phone Directory if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the ONE-TOUCH DIAL buttons or in the Phone Directory.

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

Notes

• The caller’s phone number and/or name will not appear in the following cases:

- “OUT OF AREA”: when the call is made through a telephone company which does not offer

Caller ID service (including international calls).

- “PRIVATE”: when the call is “blocked”. For privacy reasons, many states allow callers the

option to prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on the other party’s Caller ID display.

• 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.

About the memory match function

The name stored in the one-touch dialing or Phone Directory will appear on the display if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the ONETOUCH DIAL buttons (see page 37) or in the Phone Directory (see page 41).

In addition, the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring and “9” will appear to the right of the displayed name if you receive a call from a VIP registered phone number on the base phone or the cordless handset.

Note

The memory match function does not work with “OUT OF AREA” or “PRIVATE” calls; and it may not work with calls made from an office which uses multiple lines because the number does not always match the one you stored in this phone.
