Battery duration  
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:  
• Approx. 7 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  
when 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.  
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 a Sony BP-T23 rechargeable battery pack.  
Note  
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.

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)”

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 unit 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.

The total number of phone numbers which can be stored into the Phone  
Directory varies according to the number of digits of each phone number. If  
all the phone numbers consist of up to 16 digits, you can store up to 50 phone  
numbers. However, as the Phone Directory uses two-phone number memory  
to store one phone number of 17 digits or more, the total number of phone  
numbers which can be stored in the Phone Directory decreases two by two  
every time you store a phone number of 17 digits or more.
