Notes

• Use only the supplied AC-T128 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.

Tips

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

• L1 is the first phone line connected to center pair of wires. L2 is the second phone line connected to outer pair of wires.

Connecting a computer or FAX

You can connect a computer or FAX, etc. to the DATA jack.

Notes

• L2 jack is used for receiving or sending computer or FAX data in addition to making or receiving calls.

If a call comes in on L2 jack with the “call waiting” service while a computer or FAX connected to the DATA jack is receiving or sending data, that data may be effected.

If you have data communication frequently, we recommend that you and your callers use L2 jack for data communication only.

• If you have only single outlet having one line, connect the telephone line cord to the L2 jack.

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 Insert the battery pack (with

BP-T23

contacts facing down) into the battery compartment.

3 Close the battery compartment

lid.

4 Place the handset on the base

unit. 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 unit. 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.

CHARGE lamp

Getting Started

Page 15

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 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 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 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.

contacts facing down) into the

BP-T23

battery compartment.

3 Close the battery compartment

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 18.

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

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 base unit 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.

• 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.

• You may press Jog Dial instead of (PGM) in steps 4 and 6.

Caller ID Features

Understanding the Caller ID service

Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display before the call is answered. In order to use this feature, you must first subscribe to the Caller ID service. The name of this service may vary depending on your telephone company.

To use this feature, be sure to enter your home area code (see page 17).

When you receive a call

The phone number appears on the display with the date and time as shown in the following example.

If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service, the caller’s name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).

Caller’s name Caller’s phone number The date and time received The line which received the Caller ID data

SMITH JOHN 1-201-123-4567

When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the “TALK” display.

Notes

• The caller’s phone number and/or name will not appear in the following cases:

- “OUT OF AREA”: when the call is made through a telephone company which does not offer Caller ID service (including international calls).

- “PRIVATE”: when the call is “blocked.” For privacy reasons, many states allow callers the option to prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on the other party’s Caller ID display.

• If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the displayed phone number may not match the number you use to call the extension.

Tips

• Even if the ringer of the handset is set to “RINGER OFF”, you can receive Caller ID data.

• If a call comes in on both line 1 and 2 simultaneously, the display will show the data on line 1 and 2 alternately.

About the memory match function

If you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone Directory (see page 32), the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring.

Note

The memory match function does not work with “OUT OF AREA” or “PRIVATE” calls; and it may not work with calls made from an office which uses multiple lines because the number does not always match the one you stored in this phone.

Caller ID Features

Page 48

Looking at the Caller ID list

The phone stores the data of the last 20 calls received including “OUT OF AREA” and “PRIVATE” calls. It keeps track of all calls received; even if they were not answered.

Caller ID Features

Page 55

Using “Caller ID with call waiting” service

This telephone is compatible with the “Caller ID with call waiting” service. Make sure that your telephone company offers this service.

Like the basic Caller ID service, you need to subscribe to “Caller ID with call waiting” in order to use this service.

Even though you may have already subscribed to “Caller ID” and “call waiting” as two separate services, you need to request a subscription to “Caller ID with call waiting” as a single service.

This is a new service that combines the two services.

Even though you now have a “Caller ID with call waiting” compatible phone, unless you subscribe to the combined “Caller ID with call waiting” service, you will not be able to see the name and number of the second caller.

When a new call comes in while you are talking, you hear two short beeps. The caller’s name and/or phone number of the new call appears on the display for about 20 seconds.

To switch to another caller

1 To switch to the new caller,

press (FLASH/CALL WAITING). (If you’re at the base unit, press

(CALL WAITING/FLASH).)

2 To switch back to the first caller,

press (FLASH/CALL WAITING) (or (CALL WAITING/FLASH)) again.
