Battery duration
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
• 6 hours when you use the handset continuously
• 10 days (RING ON mode) or a month (RING OFF mode) 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.
• To obtain the best handset performance, place the handset on the base phone
for charging after several calls.
• 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.
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.
