Caution

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly

equipment.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this

phone.

Note

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

Battery duration

A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
• Approx. 7 hours when you use the handset continuously
• Approx. 6 days when the handset is in standby mode.

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 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 10 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-T18
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.

lamp on the base unit lights up simultaneously.

If the handset battery becomes weak during a call

You hear a beep and the TALK/BATT LOW lamp on the handset flashes.
The call will disconnect soon. Replace the handset on the base unit to
charge.

For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full
10 hours.

Note that during the first 10 - 15 minutes of charging, the phone will be
inactive, i.e., unable to make or receive a call.
After this initial 10 - 15 minutes, you may be able to use the phone, but the
battery duration will be very short; thus it is recommended that you fully
charge
the battery before the next usage.
