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.

a stand.

phone and to a telephone outlet.
3. Connect the AC power adapter to the DC IN 9V jack on the back of the
phone and to an AC outlet.
4. Raise the antenna. Make sure it points toward the ceiling.
Notes: Use only the supplied AC-T37 AC power adapter.
Do not use any other AC power adapter.
Connect the AC power adapter to a continuous power supply.
Place the base unit close to the AC outlet so that you can unplug
the AC power adapter easily.
Tips: If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your telephone
service company for assistance.
To remove the wall bracket, press the upper tab.
Choose the dialing mode
For the telephone to work properly, select an appropriate dialing mode
(tone or pulse).
Depending on your dialing system, set the DIAL MODE switch as follows:

Pulse ............................ P
If you aren't sure of your dialing system:
Make a trial call with the DIAL MODE switch set to T. If the call connects,
leave the switch as is; otherwise, set to P.
Step 3
Preparing the battery pack
Charge the battery pack for more than 12 hours 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 and red
cords).
3. Hook the cords and insert the battery pack. Then close the lid.
4. Place the handset on the base unit. You can place either side facing up.
The 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 CHARGE lamp remains
lit even after charging is completed.
Battery duration
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
4 hours when you use the handset continuously.
7 days (RING ON mode) or 3 weeks (BATT SAVE mode) 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.
The battery works best when charged after several calls.
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 the full capacity.
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-T18
rechargeable battery pack.
