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.

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. Otherw ise, 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

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 17.  
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 17.  
Entering the area code is only possible on the base phone.

Many telephone companies and service providers nowadays offer low-  
rate long distance calls separate from your standard long distance  
provider. Such services are usually initiated by dialing an access  
number prior to the long distance call itself.  
The Long Distance Saver function enables you to dial the access  
number of these special long distance service companies by pressing  
just (LONG DIST. SAVER). After setting up the access number and  
activating the button function in the menu, you only need to press  
(LONG DIST. SAVER) for dialing the access number of your special long  
distance carrier.  
In order to use this function, you must first activate the button function  
by memorizing the access number of your choice in the menu and by  
setting the long distance menu function to “ACTIVE”  
The long distance menu is preset to “INACTIVE”, no preset access  
number is registered.

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 w eak 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.

When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.  
Tip  
You can switch between phone conversations via the handset and those via the  
speakerphone, simply by picking up the handset while talking over the  
speakerphone, or by pressing (SPEAKERPHONE) while talking over the handset.  
To obtain the best speakerphone performance  
• You may not be able to hear the other partys 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 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.

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

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
