shows the ID number for each cordless handset and base  
phone of the system, called station number.The station  
number of the base phone is set to 0 and that of the  
cordless handset (supplied with the base phone) is set to  
1 at the factory. The station number of the cordless

Battery duration  
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:  
Approx. 5 hours when you use the cordless handset continuously  
Approx. 6 days when the cordless 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 cordless 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 cordless handset on the charger after each call. The  
battery works 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 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-T38 rechargeable battery pack.  
Note  
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.

When you use this phone for the first time, or move to an area that has a  
different area code, you must enter the area code. Otherw ise, you cannot use  
some functions of this phone and the Caller ID functions.  
This is also necessary because the phone must be able to select an area code to  
properly dial a call from the Caller ID list.  
Depending on your region, enter the 3-digit area code as follows:  
Case 1.  
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)”  
on page 19.  
Case 2.  
If 10-digit dialing (area code + number) is required for all local calls in your area, see  
“To enter the local area code (For 10 digits phone number users)” on page 19.  
Entering the area code is only possible on the cordless handset. Make sure the base  
phone* is not in use before you start the setting. You cannot enter the area code while  
the system is in use.  
* If the system includes additional cordless handsets, it is necessary to stop  
using them before you start the setting as well.

Notes  
When making a call on the cordless handset, “ ” appears on the display  
indicating the receiver sensitivity with the base phone. Three bars indicate a  
good reception, no bar indicates a bad reception. When calling from an area  
with poor reception, you may experience interference or the call may be  
disconnected, so try to use the cordless handset in areas that have a good  
reception.  
When you increase the sound volume, in some cases the back ground noise  
may be increased as well. You should adjust the volume accordingly.  
If the cordless handset beeps every second during a conversation and “ ”  
appears on the display, move closer to the base phone; otherwise, you will  
hear five short error beeps and “NO CONNECTION” will appear on the  
display, and the call will be disconnected after 30 seconds.  
While talking with an outside caller via the base phone, you cannot make a  
call with the cordless handset. If you press (TALK), “NO CONNECTION”  
appears on the display and you will hear five short error beeps.  
When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.  
If the battery becomes w eak during a call  
The cordless handset will beep twice per second, “BATTERY LOW”  
appears on the display. Finish your call and replace the cordless  
handset on the charger to charge the battery pack.  
For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full 12 hours.  
Note that during the initial charge time (approx. 10 minutes), “PLEASE  
WAIT...” and “BATTERY LOW” appear on the display and the  
cordless handset cannot be used.  
After “BATTERY LOW” turns off, you may be able to use the cordless  
handset, but the battery duration will be very short; thus it is  
recommended that you fully charge the battery before next use.

Notes  
While talking with an outside caller via the cordless handset, the display on  
the base phone shows “HANDSET 1 IN USE” when the cordless handset  
with the station number “1” is in use, and you cannot make a call with the  
base phone.  
When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.  
Tip  
You can switch between phone conversations via the handset and those via the  
speakerphone, simply by picking up the handset while talking over the  
speakerphone, or by pressing (SPEAKERPHONE) while talking over the handset.  
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 phone 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.

as one number of the total five registered numbers that can be redialed.  
When dialing from a phone number with a registered name, that name will

You can screen calls by leaving the answering function on (see page 67) while you are  
at home. When a call is answered, you can hear the message being recorded through  
the base phone or cordless handset but the caller cannot hear you. Then, you can  
decide whether to answer the call or not. This function is available both the base  
phone and the cordless handset. However, the following procedures are required in  
order to screen incoming calls on the cordless handset.

Caller ID allows the callers 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 17).  
Wh e n yo u re ce ive a ca ll  
The phone number appears on the display as shown in the following  
example.  
If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service or if the  
phone number stored in the Phone Directory matches with the Caller  
ID data phone number, the callers name also appears on the display  
(up to 15 letters).  
The caller’s name will appear by the name stored in the Phone  
Directory if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored 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:  
—“UNKNOWN NUMBER/ NAME/ CALLER” (out of area) : when the call is  
made through a telephone company which does not offer Caller ID service  
(including international calls).  
—“BLOCKED NUMBER/ NAME/ CALL” (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  
The name stored in the Phone Directory will appear on the display and  
the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring if  
you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone  
Directory on the base phone or the cordless handset (see page 43).  
Note  
The memory match function does not work with “UNKNOWN NUMBER/  
NAME/ CALLER” or “BLOCKED NUMBER/ NAME/ CALL” 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.
