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.
Step 3: Preparing the battery pack (continued)

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.
