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 and 3.

Step 1 (page 5)

First, unpack the phone and the supplied accessories.

Step 2 (pages 6 to 8)

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

Step 3 (pages 9 to 10)

Then, insert the battery pack into the handset and charge it for more than 12 hours.

About the digital security code

The cordless telephone uses a digital security code to provide protection against unwanted access to your base phone. The security code blocks other cordless handsets to make calls through your base phone. A random security code will be assigned automatically between your base phone and handset when you charge the battery pack for the first time.

That’s it!

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 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 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

Getting Started

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.

Connect the base phone

If you want to hang the base phone on the wall, see page 45.

Step 2: Setting up the base phone (continued)

Notes

• Use only the supplied AC-T129 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.

Modular

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 TONE Pulse PULSE

If you aren't sure of your dialing system

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

Step 3

Preparing the battery pack

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

1 Slide open the battery

compartment lid of the handset.

2 Connect the battery connector

with correct polarity (black wire goes on left side and red wire goes on right).

3 Close the battery compartment

lid.

4 Place the handset on the base

phone. The CHARGE lamp lights up

when the handset is properly seated on the charge terminals of the base phone. 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.

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. 7 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 phone after each call. The battery works best if the handset is returned to the base phone after two or three calls. However, do not leave the handset off the base phone 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-T18 rechargeable battery pack.

Note

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

Making calls (continued)

To obtain the best speakerphone performance

• You may not be able to hear the other party’s voice in a noisy place. Therefore, use the speakerphone in a quiet room.

• Do not bring your hand or other object too close to the microphone or you will hear a shrill noise (“feedback”).

• When the speaker volume is loud, or the telephone has been placed close to a wall, you may find that the volume drops suddenly. This is due to a circuit in the telephone designed to protect against feedback. In such cases, lower the speaker volume slightly.
