Setup

• Sony cordless phones require several setup steps prior to use. After unpacking the phone, plug the telephone line into a telephone line wall jack and the jack on the base of the Sony phone named "LINE." Next, plug the AC adapter into a power outlet and the other end into the back of the base.
  
  The handset on Sony cordless phones requires the supplied rechargeable battery to operate. Though the battery is rechargeable, it still has a limited lifespan and may need to be replaced if it is not cared for properly. Before first using the phone, charge it for at least 12 hours. If you do not fully charge the battery, it may drain faster than normal and have a shorter lifespan.
  
  To install the battery, slide open the battery compartment cover on the back of the handset to expose the compartment. Attach the battery connector wire to the jack on the inside of the compartment. Place the battery in the compartment, slide the cover back on and place it on the base.
