Battery duration  
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:  
• Approx. 6 hours when you use the handset continuously  
• Approx. 7 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 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 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-T31 rechargeable battery pack.  
Note  
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.

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.

Mailbox usage  
This phone offers you three voice mailboxes, providing a convenient  
way to share the mailbox feature with other members of your  
household or business.  
When a caller calls  
The caller can choose one of the two ways to leave a message:  
• If calling from a touch-tone phone, the caller select a mailbox by  
pressing (*)(1) (MAILBOX 1), (*)(2) (MAILBOX 2) or (*)(3)  
(MAILBOX 3) while the caller hears the greeting. The greeting stops  
and a beep will sound, then the caller can start recording a message.  
• Wait until the greeting finishes, then start recording a message.  
When the caller does not select a mailbox, the message is  
automatically recorded to MAILBOX 1.  
Notes  
• If four minutes have passed while recording the incoming message, the line is  
automatically disconnected.  
• If the message is shorter than two seconds, it will not be recorded.

The caller’s phone number and/ or name will not appear in the following  
cases:  
“OUT OF AREA”: when the call is made through a telephone company  
which does not offer Caller ID service (including international calls).  
“PRIVATE”: when the call is “blocked”. For privacy reasons, many states  
allow callers the option to prevent his or her telephone data from being  
displayed on the other partys Caller ID display.  
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  
If you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the  
ONE-TOUCH DIAL buttons (see page 26) or in the Phone Directory  
(see page 28), the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the  
second ring.  
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 not always match the one you stored in this phone.

This telephone is compatible with the “Caller ID with call waiting”  
service. Make sure that your telephone company offers this service.  
Like the basic Caller ID service, you need to subscribe to “Caller ID  
with call waiting” in order to use this service.  
Even though you may have already subscribed to “Caller ID” and  
“call w aiting” as tw o separate services, you need to request a  
subscription to “Caller ID w ith call w aiting” as a single service.  
This is a new service that combines the two services.  
Even though you now have a “Caller ID w ith call w aiting”  
compatible phone, unless you subscribe to the combined “Caller ID  
w ith call w aiting” service, you w ill not be able to see the name  
and number of the second caller.  
When a new call comes in while you are talking, the callers name  
and/ or phone number of the new call appears on the display for about  
20 seconds.
