• 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

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 51.

Step 3

Preparing the battery pack

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

CHARGE lamp

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

phone. You can place it with either side

facing up. 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.

continued

Getting Started

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)

Battery duration

A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:

• Approx. 6 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 when 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 to 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-T23 rechargeable battery pack.

Note

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

Getting Started

Handset spare battery usage

As only one battery pack is supplied with this unit, it is necessary to purchase an additional battery pack (optional) for use as a handset spare battery pack.

1 Open the battery compartment

lid of the base phone.

2 Insert the battery pack (with

contacts facing down) into the

BP-T23

battery compartment.

3 Close the battery compartment

lid. The SPARE BATTERY lamp

lights up. Charge the battery pack for more than 24 hours so that the battery is fully charged. The SPARE BATTERY lamp remains lit even after charging is completed.

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 your home 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 call from the Caller ID list.

Depending on your region, enter 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 15.

Case 2. If 10-digit dialing (area code + number) is required for all local calls in your area, at first, enter “000” in your home area code. See “To enter your home area code” below. Then see “To enter the local area code (For 10 digits phone number users)” on page

Notes

• If you intend to save a 51st phone number, you will hear five short error

beeps and “MEMORY FULL” will be displayed. You cannot store the phone number. To store another phone number, erase one of the stored phone numbers (see page 32).

• Do not allow more than 20 seconds to elapse between each step of the

procedure.

• The total number of phone numbers which can be stored into the Phone

Directory varies according to the number of digits of each phone number. If all the phone numbers consist of up to 16 digits, you can store up to 50 phone numbers. However, as the Phone Directory uses two-phone number memory to store one phone number of 17 digits or more, the total number of phone numbers which can be stored in the Phone Directory decreases two by two every time you store a phone number of 17 digits or more.

Tips

• If you have entered a wrong name or number in step 3 or 5, turn Jog Dial

down to erase it. Then enter the correct name or number.
