Battery duration

A fully charged battery pac 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 pac will gradually discharge over a long period of time, even

when not in use.

• If you leave the battery pac in the cordless handset without charging it, the

battery pac will be completely discharged.

It may require several times of charging to recover to its full capacity.

• While charging, the battery pac 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 wor s 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 pac .

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 as

for a Sony BP-T24 rechargeable battery pac .

Caller ID Features

Understanding the Caller ID service

Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display before you

answer the call. In order to use this feature, you must first subscribe to Caller ID

service. The name of this service may vary depending on your telephone company.

To use this feature, be sure to enter the area code (see page 13).

When you receive a call

The phone number appears on the display with the date and time as shown in the

following example.

If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service or if the phone number

stored in the one-touch dialing, or the Phone Directory matches with the Caller ID

data phone number, the caller’s name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).

The caller’s name will appear by the name stored in the one-touch dialing or Phone

Directory if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the

ONE-TOUCH DIAL buttons or in the Phone Directory.

When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the “TALK” or

“SPEAKERPHONE” display.

Notes

• 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 “bloc ed”. For privacy reasons, many states allow callers the

option to prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on the other party’s 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

The name stored in the one-touch dialing or Phone Directory will appear on the

display if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the ONE-
