Battery duration
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
• 6 hours when you use the handset continuously.
• 14 days when the handset is in standing by.
Notes
• The battery pack will gradually discharge over a long period of time, even if 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.
• If the battery runs out completely, the speed dial numbers and the digital security
code will be erased. If this happens, charge it on the base unit for over 12 hours.
Then reprogram the speed dial numbers, and assign a new digital security code (see
“Resetting the digital security code”). You may need to charge the battery several
times before it is recharged to its full capacity.
To obtain the best performance from 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 Sony BP-T16
rechargeable battery pack.
Note
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.
* You need to subscribe to this service from your telephone company.
Notes
• Do not cover the microphone during the conversation; otherwise, the other party
cannot hear your voice.
• If you hear beeps during the conversation, move closer to the base unit; otherwise,
the call will be disconnected after 15 seconds. Note that, however, you may not hear
beeps if it’s noisy on the handset.
If interference occurs on the handset
When you press (TALK), the handset automatically searches for the channel
with the best reception. However, if you notice interference during a
conversation, move closer to the base unit.
If interference persists, press (CHANNEL) to switch to another channel to
improve the sound quality of your telephone conversation.
Note
If you hear five short beeps when you press (CHANNEL), move closer to the base unit.
If the handset battery becomes weak during a call
The handset will beep every three seconds with the TALK/BATT LOW
lamp flashing at the same time. Finish your call and charge the battery
pack.
Caution
If this occurs, you cannot use the handset without charging it for more than one
minutes.

Resetting the digital security code
The first time you charge the battery pack, a random security code is
automatically assigned between the base unit and the handset. Only a
handset which has this security code can make calls through the base unit.
This system prevents the possibility of other cordless telephone handsets
making calls through your base unit. You normally do not need to reset the
security code. However, in the unlikely event that you suspect that another
cordless phone uses the same security code, you can manually change the
code. Pick up the handset from the base unit, and proceed as follows:
1
Press (PGM).
The TALK/BATT LOW lamp
flashes.
2
Press (#).
You hear a confirmation beep.
3
Press three of the dialing keys (001
to 999) to store a new code.
4
Press (PGM).
You hear a long confirmation beep
and the TALK/BATT LOW lamp
goes off.
5
Immediately replace the handset
on the base unit.
You hear a long confirmation beep
and the phone stores the new code.
Note
If the battery pack in the handset is completely discharged, or is removed from the
handset for more than several seconds, the digital security code stored will be lost. If
this happens, charge the battery pack and a new security code will be automatically
assigned.
Tip
This procedure will change the code in both the base unit and the handset. The code
can be changed as often as desired.
Paging
You can page the handset from the base unit. Note that you cannot page if
the handset is in use.
Press (HANDSET LOCATOR).
The handset rings for about
one minute.
To end the page, press
(OFF) on the handset.
Maintenance
• Clean the cabinets with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine as they may damage the
finish of the cabinet.
• If the charge terminals of the base unit and handset are soiled, wipe them
with a soft cloth.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your phone, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes on power sources

RECYCLING NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES
Nickel-Cadmium batteries are recyclable. You can help
preserve our environment by returning your unwanted
batteries to your nearest point for collection, recycling or
proper disposal.

batteries in household or business trash may be
prohibited.
RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) advises you about spent battery
collection by the following phone number.
Call toll free number: 1-800-822-8837 (United States and Canada only)
Caution: Do not handle damaged or leaking nickel-cadmium batteries.
Setting up the phone
Caution
The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base unit 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 unit
If you want to hang the base unit on the wall, mount the unit first (see
“Mounting the base unit on the wall”).
1
Connect the telephone line cord to the LINE jack and to a
telephone outlet.
2
Connect the AC power adaptor to the DC IN 9V jack and to an
AC outlet.
3
Fully extend the antenna. Make sure it points toward the
ceiling.
Notes
• Use only the supplied AC-T56 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.
Tip
If your telephone outlet is not modular, contact your telephone
service company for assistance.
