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

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.

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.
