Step 2

Setting up the base phone

Do the following steps:

• Choose the best location

• Connect the base phone

• Choose the dialing mode

Choose the best location

Where you place the base phone affects the reception quality of the cordless handset.

Away from television sets and other electronic equipment

Near a central location and on a level surface

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

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 and VCRs; 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 or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the

interference.

Getting Started

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

Connect the base phone

If you want to hang the base phone on the wall, see page 81.

Hook the cord.

To an AC outlet

continued

Getting Started

Step 2: Setting up the base phone (continued)

Notes

• Use only the supplied AC-T107 AC power adaptor. Do not use any other AC power adaptor.

• Connect the AC power adaptor to a continuous power supply.

• Place the base phone close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug the AC power adaptor easily.

Tip

If your telephone outlet is not modular, contact your telephone service company for assistance.

Choose the dialing mode

For the telephone to work properly, select an appropriate dialing mode (tone or pulse).

DIAL MODE switch

Depending on your dialing system, set the DIAL MODE switch as follows:

If your dialing system is Set the switch to

Tone T

Pulse P

If you aren't sure of your dialing system

Make a trial call with the DIAL MODE switch set to T. If the call connects, leave the switch as is; otherwise, set to P.

Step 3

Preparing the battery pack

Charge the battery pack for more than 12 hours before you start using

your cordless handset.

To an AC outlet

1 Slide open the battery

compartment lid of the cordless handset.

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 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

– 6 –

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)

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-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 17.

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 17.

Entering the area code is only possible on the base phone.

The Long Distance Saver function enables you to dial the access number of these special long distance service companies by pressing just (LONG DIST. SAVER). After setting up the access number and activating the button function in the menu, you only need to press (LONG DIST. SAVER) for dialing the access number of your special long distance carrier.

In order to use this function, you must first activate the button function by memorizing the access number of your choice in the menu and by setting the long distance menu function to “ACTIVE”

The long distance menu is preset to “INACTIVE”, no preset access number is registered.
