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.

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 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
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.
