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

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 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.

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 unit

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

Hook the cord.

To an AC outlet

To the telephone outlet

To DC IN 9V

AC power adaptor (supplied AC-T130)

Telephone line cord (supplied)

To LINE

Connect the telephone line cord to the LINE jack and to a telephone outlet.

Connect the AC power adaptor to the DC IN 9V jack and to an AC outlet.

Raise the antenna. Make sure it points towards the ceiling.

continued

Getting Started

Step 2: Setting up the base unit (continued)

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.

Tip

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

Step 3

Preparing the battery pack

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

your phone.

BP-T23

Slide open the battery compartment lid of the handset.

Insert the battery pack (with contacts facing down) into the battery compartment.

Close the battery compartment lid.

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

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)

Basics

Making calls

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
