discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't
practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as
possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with
the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

the call.
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or
late evenings.
Caution
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly
approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
­ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
­ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
­ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
­ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Setting up the phone
Caution
The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to nearby
TVs and VCRs; the base unit should not be placed near or on the top of a TV or VCR;
and, if interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from
the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Connect the base unit
If you want to hang the base unit on the wall, mount the unit first (see "Mounting the
base unit on the wall").
1 Connect the telephone line cord to the LINE jack and to a telephone
outlet.
2 Connect the AC power adaptor to the DC IN 9V jack and to an AC
outlet.
3 Raise the antenna. Make sure it points toward the ceiling.
Notes
· Use only the supplied AC-T127 AC power adaptor. Do not use
any other AC power adaptor.
· Connect the AC power adaptor to a continuous power supply.
· Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug
the AC power adaptor easily.
Tip
If your telephone outlet is not modular, contact your telephone
service company for assistance.
Prepare the battery pack
Insert the battery into the handset and charge first before you start using your phone.
1 Slide open the battery compartment lid of the handset.
2 Connect the battery connector with correct polarity (black wire goes on
lower side and red wire goes on upper side), and hook the cords.
3 Insert the battery pack, and close the lid.
4 Place the handset on the base unit.
The LINE/CHARGE lamp lights up when the handset is properly seated
on the charge terminals of the base unit. Charge the battery pack for
more than 12 hours so that the battery is fully charged. The LINE/
CHARGE lamp remains lit even after charging is completed.
Battery duration
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
·
10 hours when you use the handset continuously.
·
30 days when the handset is in standing by.
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.
· If the battery runs out completely, the setting of dialing mode, the speed dial numbers and the
digital security code will be erased. If this happens, charge it on the base unit for over 12 hours.
Then choose the dialing mode, set the ringer type, reprogram the speed dial numbers, and
assign a new digital security code (see "Resetting the digital security code"). You may need to
charge the battery several times before it is recharged to its full capacity.
To obtain the best performance from 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-T50 rechargeable battery
pack.
Note
Battery life may vary depending on usage condition and ambient temperature.
Choose the dialing mode
For the telephone to work properly, select an appropriate dialing mode (tone or
pulse). The default setting is tone.
Note
Do not allow more than 20 seconds to elapse between each step of the procedure.

Making and receiving calls using the
headset
When the supplied headset is connected to the
I (HEADSET) jack, you can talk
through the headset. The supplied headset is for use with the left ear. If the
headset does not fit comfortably to your ear or you would prefer to use a headset with
your right ear, please purchase a headset which is sold separately.
1 Connect the headset cord to the I (HEADSET) jack on the handset.
2 Wear the neckband around the back of your head. The cord should be
hanging from the left side.
3 Put your left ear between the earpad and the neckband, and adjust the
angle of the neckband to fit the headphones on your left ear.
Open the belt clip of handset by pressing the top of it, and then attach
the handset to the belt.
4 Position the headset microphone in front of your mouth.
Precaution
Avoid listening your headset at so loud a volume that extended play might affect your
hearing.
Reattaching the belt clip
The belt clip will detach from the handset if more than 7
kilograms of continuous force is applied. In such a case,
refer to the illustration and reattach the belt clip.
Resetting the digital security code
The first time you charge the battery pack, a random security code is automatically
assigned between the base unit and the handset. Only a handset which has this
security code can make calls through the base unit. This system prevents the
possibility of other cordless telephone handsets making calls through your base unit.
You normally do not need to reset the security code. However, in the unlikely event
that you suspect that another cordless phone uses the same security code, you can
manually change the code. Pick up the handset from the base unit, and proceed as
follows:
Note
If the battery pack in the handset is completely discharged, or is removed from the handset for
more than several seconds, the digital security code stored will be lost. If this happens, charge the
battery pack and a new security code will be automatically assigned.
Tip
This procedure will change the code in both the base unit and the handset. The code can be
changed as often as desired.
Maintenance
·
Clean the cabinets with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine as they may damage the finish of the cabinet.
·
If the charge terminals of the base unit and handset are soiled, wipe them with a
soft cloth.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your phone, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
Notes on power sources
On battery pack
·
Store the battery pack at a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C) for
best performance.
·
If you do not use the cordless handset for a long period of time, remove the battery
pack.
On power failure
·
During a power interruption, you cannot make or receive calls.
