2 Connect the battery connector

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 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.

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.
