Where you place the base phone affects the reception quality of the
cordless handset.
Away from television
sets and other
electronic equipment
Away from noise sources such as a window

Away from heat sources, such as radiators,
airducts, and sunlight
Away from a microwave

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.

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)
Battery duration
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
• Approx. 6 hours when you use the cordless handset continuously
• Approx. 6 days when the cordless 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 cordless handset without charging it, the
battery pack will be completely discharged.
It may require several times of charging to recover to its full capacity.
• While charging, the battery pack warms up. This is not a malfunction.
To obtain the best performance from the battery
Do not place the cordless handset on the charger after each call. The
battery works best if the cordless handset is returned to the charger
after two or three calls. However, do not leave the cordless handset off
the charger 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-T24 rechargeable battery pack.
Note
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.

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 the 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 a call from the Caller ID list.
Depending on your region, enter the 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, see
“To enter the local area code (For 10 digits phone number users)” on page 15.
Entering the area code is only possible on the base phone.

Notes
• When making a call on the cordless handset, “ ” appears on the display
indicating the receiver sensitivity with the base phone. Three bars indicate a
good reception, no bar indicates a bad reception. When calling from an area
with poor reception, you may experience interference or the call may be
disconnected, so try to use the cordless handset in areas that have a good
reception.
• When you increase the sound volume, in some cases the back ground noise
may be increased as well. You should adjust the volume accordingly.
• If the cordless handset beeps every second during a conversation and “ ”
appears on the display, move closer to the base phone; otherwise, you will
hear five short error beeps and “OUT OF RANGE” will appear on the
display, and the call will be disconnected after 30 seconds.
• While talking with an outside caller via the base phone, you cannot make a
call with the cordless handset. If you press (TALK), “BASEPHONE IN USE”
appears on the display and you will hear a busy tone.
• When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.
EZfit
The “EZfit” adjusts to fit any shape ear,
thereby ensuring clear voice reception.
If the battery becomes weak during a call
The cordless handset will beep twice per second, “BATTERY LOW”
appears on the display. Finish your call and replace the cordless
handset on the charger to charge the battery pack. Or, to continue your
phone conversation with the base phone, press (HOLD) on the cordless
handset to hold the line, and then pick up the handset or press
(SPEAKERPHONE) on the base phone.
For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full 12 hours.
Note that during the initial charge time (approx. 10 minutes), “PLEASE
WAIT...” and “BATTERY LOW” appear on the display and the
cordless handset cannot be used.
After “BATTERY LOW” turns off, you may be able to use the cordless
handset, but the battery duration will be very short; thus it is
recommended that you fully charge the battery before next use.

or you will hear a shrill noise (“feedback”).
• When the speaker volume is loud, or the base phone 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.

Caller ID Features
Understanding the Caller ID service
Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display before you
answer the call. In order to use this feature, you must first subscribe to Caller ID
service. The name of this service may vary depending on your telephone company.
To use this feature, be sure to enter the area code (see page 13).
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 or if the phone number
stored in the one-touch dialing, or the Phone Directory matches with the Caller ID
data phone number, the caller’s name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).
The caller’s name will appear by the name stored in the one-touch dialing or Phone
Directory if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the
ONE-TOUCH DIAL buttons or in the Phone Directory.

When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the “TALK” or
“SPEAKERPHONE” 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.
About the memory match function
The name stored in the one-touch dialing or Phone Directory will appear on the
display if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the ONETOUCH DIAL buttons (see page 39) or in the Phone Directory (see page 43).
In addition, the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring and
“9” will appear to the right of the displayed name if you receive a call from a VIP
registered phone number on the base phone or the cordless handset.
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.

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.

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.
