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.

The handset will beep every three seconds five times and E and
“BATTERY LOW” appears on the display. Finish your call and charge
the battery pack.
For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full 12 hours.

inactive, i.e., unable to make or receive a call.
After this initial 10 - 15 minutes, you may be able to use the phone, but
the battery duration will be very short; thus it is recommended that
you fully charge the battery before the next usage.
If you have a spare battery
You can replace the battery pack without disconnecting the call during
a conversation. To replace the battery pack, perform the following
procedure.
1 Press (HOLD) on the handset.
The call is on hold and “HOLD” appears on the display.

Notes
• The LINE 1 or LINE 2 button on the base phone double flashes in succession

flashing, 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.

• The total number of phone numbers which can be stored into the Phone
Directory varies according to the number of digits of each phone number. If
all the phone numbers consist of up to 16 digits, you can store up to 50 phone
numbers. However, as the Phone Directory uses two-phone number memory

numbers which can be stored in the Phone Directory decreases two by two
every time you store a phone number of 17 digits or more.
