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

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, VCRs, and microwave oven; 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, VCR, or microwave oven will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

4 Connect the AC power adaptor

to the DC IN 9V jack of the charger and to an AC outlet and place the cordless handset on the charger.

The CHARGE lamp on the charger lights up and “HANDSET 1” appears on the display of the cordless handset 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.

Page 15

About the station number

When you start charging the battery, “HANDSET 1” appears on the display of the cordless handset. This shows the ID number for each cordless handset and base phone of the system, called “station number.” The station number of the base phone is set to 0 and that of the cordless handset (supplied with the base phone) is set to 1 at the factory. The station number of the cordless handset newly added to the system will be one of the number 2 through 4 in the order of registration. (See “Registering additional cordless handsets” on page 25.)

HANDSET 1

Battery duration

A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:

• Approx. 5 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-T38 rechargeable battery pack.

Note

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

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 “NO CONNECTION” 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), “NO CONNECTION” appears on the display and you will hear five short error beeps.

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

If the battery becomes weak during a call

The cordless handset will beep twice per second, “BATTERY LOW” appears on the display. Finish your call and replace the cordless handset on the charger to charge the battery pack.

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.

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 17).

When you receive a call

The phone number appears on the display as shown in the following example.

If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service or if the phone number stored in 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 Phone Directory if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone Directory.

Caller’s name Caller’s phone number

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: —“UNKNOWN NUMBER/NAME/CALLER” (out of area) : when the call is

made through a telephone company which does not offer Caller ID service (including international calls).

—“BLOCKED NUMBER/NAME/CALL” (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.

The name stored in the Phone Directory will appear on the display and the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone Directory on the base phone or the cordless handset (see page 43).

Note

The memory match function does not work with “UNKNOWN NUMBER/ NAME/CALLER” or “BLOCKED NUMBER/NAME/CALL” 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.

Using “Caller ID with call waiting” service

This telephone is compatible with the “Caller ID with call waiting” service. Make sure that your telephone company offers this service.

Like the basic Caller ID service, you need to subscribe to “Caller ID with call waiting” in order to use this service.

Even though you may have already subscribed to “Caller ID” and “call waiting” as two separate services, you need to request a subscription to “Caller ID with call waiting” as a single service.

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, the caller’s name and/or phone number of the new call appears on the display for about 20 seconds.

To switch to another caller

1 To switch to the new caller,

press (CALL WAITING/FLASH).

2 To switch back to the first caller,
