Getting Started

Read this first

Before you use your phone, you must first set it up. Here’s a quick way to set up your phone: Steps 1, 2 , 3 and 4.

Step 1 (page 7)

First, unpack the phone and the supplied accessories.

Step 2 (pages 8 to 10)

Next, you need to do three things to set up the base unit, including finding the best location for the base unit.

Step 3 (pages 11 to 12)

Then, insert the battery pack into the handset and charge it for more than 10 hours.

Step 4 (page 12)

Finally, select an appropriate dialing

mode (tone or pulse) for the telephone to work property.

That’s it!

About the cordless telephone

Each time you place the handset on the base unit, a random security code is automatically assigned between the base unit and the handset.

(The IN USE lamp flashes during the initialization, then turns off when the initialization is complete.) Only a handset which has this unique security code can make calls through the base unit. This system prevents the possibility of other cordless telephone handsets making calls through your base unit.

Step 1

Checking the package contents

Make sure you have received the following items in the package. If anything is missing, contact your local Sony dealer.

Step 2

Setting up the base unit

Do the following steps:

• Choose the best location

• Connect the base unit

• Choose the dialing mode

Choose the best location

Where you place the base unit affects the reception quality of the handset.

Away from television sets and other electronic equipment

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

Near a central location and on a level surface

Away from another cordless telephone

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

moving closer to the base or move base unit away from other noise sources.

• The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base unit 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.

Connect the base unit

If you want to hang the base unit on the wall, see page 37.

Notes

• Use only the supplied AC-T130 AC power adaptor. Do not use any other AC power adaptor.

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

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

Step 3

Preparing the battery pack

Charge the battery pack for more than 10 hours before you start using your phone.

BP-T23

1 Slide open the battery

compartment lid of the handset.

2 Insert the battery pack (with

contacts facing down) into the battery compartment.

3 Close the battery compartment

lid.

4 Place the handset on the base

unit. The CHARGE lamp lights up

when the handset is properly seated on the charge terminals of the base unit. Charge the battery pack for more than 10 hours so that the battery is fully charged. The CHARGE lamp remains lit even after charging is completed.

Getting Started

CHARGE lamp

Getting Started

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)

Battery duration

A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:

• Approx. 7 hours when you use the handset continuously

• Approx. 6 days when the handset is in standby mode.

Notes

• The battery pack will gradually discharge over a long period of time, even if not in use.

• If you leave the battery pack in the handset without charging it, the battery pack will be completely discharged.

It may require several times of charging to recover its full capacity.

To obtain the best performance from the battery

Do not place the handset on the base unit after each call. The battery works best if the handset is returned to the base unit after two or three calls. However, do not leave the handset off the base unit 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 10 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-T23 rechargeable battery pack.

Note

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

Step 4

Choosing the dialing mode

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