2 Connect the battery connector

with correct polarity (black wire goes on lower side and red wire goes on upper side).

3 Hook the cords and insert the

battery pack. Then close the lid.

4 Connect the AC power adaptor

to an AC outlet and place the cordless handset on the charger.

continued

Getting Started

Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)

Battery duration

A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:

• Approx. 5 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.
