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 phone after each call. The battery
works best if the handset is returned to the base phone after two or
three calls. However, do not leave the handset off the base phone 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.

Notes
•
While conversing with an outside caller via the handset, the display on the
base phone shows “HANDSET IN USE”. If you press (SPEAKERPHONE) at
this time, you can talk to the handset and to the line connected.
•
When the talk time exceeds 9:59’59, the display counts from 0:00’00 again.
To obtain the best speakerphone performance
• You may not be able to hear the other party’s 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.

Ca lle r ID Fe a t u re s
Un d e rst a n d in g t h e Ca lle r ID se rvice
Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display
before the call is answered. In order to use this feature, you must first
subscribe to the Caller ID service. The name of this service may vary
depending on your telephone company.
To use this feature, be sure to enter your home area code (see page 16).
Wh e n yo u re ce ive a ca ll
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, the caller’s
name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).

SMITH JOHN
1-201-123-4567
* The display on the base phone
does not show the date and time.
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 “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.
Tip
Even if the ringer of the handset is set to “RINGER OFF”, you can receive
Caller ID data.
About the memory match function
If you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on speed dialing
keys (see page 32) or in the Phone Directory (see page 35), 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.
