Pressingany key during or after the 5-second interval restarts the 5-second timer.  The backlight will not illuminate when the<Off> key is pressed since user is assumed to have completed the desired phone operation.  When the phone is off-hook, the backlight will also not be activated by the <Channel> or <Redial> key.  In addition, the illumination willturn off immediately after a speed-dial programming sequence is successfully completed (see section 3.3.1for furtherdetails on programming speed dial numbers into the SPP-900).Backlight illumination also occurs during handset ringing for incoming calls.  The backlighting follows the cadenceof the ringing signal (i.e., illumination when ring on and no illumination when ring off).  After termination of ringing,if the call is not answered, the illumination goes off and remains off until a key is pressed or another call is received.If the call is answered, the illumination remains on for 5 seconds (5 second timer restart as a result of pressing a key)and then turns off automatically provided no other keys are pressed.Backlight illumination turns off immediately after handset is placed on cradle.2.2  Base Unit Functional LayoutHANDSETLOCATORCHARGELINEFigure 2 - Base Unit Layout2.2.1 Base Unit LED IndicatorsCharge LED - this LED illuminates steadily when the handset is resting in the base unit cradle and thehandset battery is being charged.Line LED - this LED illuminates steadily when the phone is in the PHONE mode.

In this mode, both the base unit and handset RF transmittersare turned off, the base unit has released the PSTN connection, and the handset goes into a sleep sub-mode toconserve battery power.  The handset ‘wakes up’ (turns on its receiver) periodically to check for an incoming RF link(incoming PSTN call or Page signal).It is possible for the handset to be either in-cradle, or away from the cradle in STANDBY mode.  Operation in bothof these cases are essentially the same with the following exceptions:1. The sleep cycle for the handset is slightly longer when the handset is resting in the base unit cradle toimprove the cradle contact communication reliability.2. The handset monitors both the RF link (for incoming PSTN or Page calls) and the cradle contacts (fornew channel information) when resting on the base unit cradle; it monitors only the RF link when awayfrom the cradle.3. The base unit monitors the interference level of the default channel and has the option to select a newchannel only when the handset is resting on the base unit cradle (refer to section 4.3.1for more details).When in the STANDBY mode:<Talk> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE mode<Channel> - this key is locked out<Off> - this key is locked out

In this mode, an RF link is established between thehandset and the base unit; the base unit has seized the PSTN connection; and both the transmit and receive audiopaths are open for voice communication.  Dialling is also possible while in the PHONE mode.Pressing the <Channel> key causes the SPP-900 to seek a new RF channel for operation (refer to section 4.3.2 formore details).Placing the handset into the base unit cradle will automatically release the PSTN connection, and return the phone tothe STANDBY mode (auto hang-up).When in the PHONE mode:<Talk> - causes the base unit to generate a hook flash to the PSTN<Channel> - causes the SPP-900 to change to a new RF channel<Off> - causes the SPP-900 to return to the STANDBY modeDialling Keys - cause the base unit to dial the corresponding digits<Redial> - dials the content of redial buffer<Program> - this key is locked outRinging - invalid condition<Handset Locator> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE/PAGE modeOn Cradle - causes the SPP-900 to return to the STANDBY modeOff Cradle - invalid condition3.2.1 Dialling MethodsThe SPP-900 supports three dialling methods: pulse, tone (DTMF), and temporary DTMF.  The pulse or tonedialling mode can be set as the default dialling method by the switch located on the side of the base unit.  The defaultdialling mode must be set before entering the PHONE mode of operation; it is not possible to change the defaultdialling mode while a call is in progress.Temporary DTMF dialling mode is only available when the default method is set to pulse.  In that case, pressing the<Tone/*> key on the handset will initiate temporary DTMF dialling such that all subsequent digits dialled will be inDTMF (including <*> and <#>).  Temporary DTMF dialling will continue until the SPP-900 returns to theSTANDBY mode, at which point the default pulse dialling resumes.During DTMF dialling, the <Tone/*> key will dial the DTMF <*> digit.  During Pulse dialling, the <#> key has nofunction and will be ignored (even though a key-beep will be generated at the handset).3.2.2 Redial BufferThe redial buffer stores the first 16 digits of the number dialled during the previous call.  The number may have beendialled using the DTMF keys, the <Redial> key, the memory dialling feature, or any allowable combination of these.

The redial buffer becomes invalid as soon as any of the DTMF keys is pressed, or if the memorydialling feature is used and cannot be accessed until the phone returns to the STANDBY mode.It is possible to dial further digits after the <Redial> key is pressed, either by using the DTMF keys, or the memorydialling feature.  Any suffix digits (including memory dialling) will be appended to the redial buffer.The redial buffer is stored in volatile memory  the contents of the redial buffer will be lost if a power failureoccurs at the base unit.3.2.3 Memory DiallingNumbers can be dialled out from any of the 10 speed dial memories by pressing the <Speed Dial> key, followed bythe number key corresponding to the desired memory location.  After the <Speed Dial> key is pressed, only thenumber keys (memory locations), the <Phone> key (hook flash) and the <Off> key (return to the STANDBY mode)will be accepted - the remaining keys on the handset will be locked-out.  There is no timeout on the memory diallingmode.It is possible to dial digits before and after using the memory dialling feature; these digits can be dialled using theDTMF keys, the <Redial/Pause> key, or the memory dialling feature.3.3 PROGRAM ModeThe SPP-900 supports two programming sub-modes: speed dial programming, and ringer type programming.  Thespeed dial programming sub-mode is used to program a number into one of the 16 speed dial memory locations; theringer type programming sub-mode is used to select the handset ringer tone.When in the main PROGRAM mode:<Talk> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE mode<Channel> - this key is locked out<Off> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the STANDBY modeNumber Keys - cause the SPP-900 to go to speed dial PROGRAM sub-mode<*>, <#> Keys - cause the SPP-900 to go to the ringer type PROGRAM sub-mode<Redial>, <Speed Dial>, <Program> Keys - these keys are locked outRinging - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PROGRAM/RINGING mode<Handset Locator> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PROGRAM/PAGE modeOn Cradle - causes the SPP-900 to return to the STANDBY modeOff Cradle - invalid condition30s Timeout - returns the SPP-900 to the STANDBY mode (sad tone)When in the speed dial PROGRAM sub-mode:<Talk> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE mode (sad tone)<Channel> - this key is locked out<Off> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the STANDBY mode (sad tone)DTMF Keys - enter the number to be stored<Redial> - access contents of redial buffer (if pressed first, otherwise locked out)<Speed Dial> - number stored, return SPP-900 to the STANDBY mode (happy tone)<Program> - this key is locked outRinging - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PROGRAM/RINGING mode<Handset Locator> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PROGRAM/PAGE mode

Each location can hold up to 16digits.To program a speed dial number:1. Press the <Program> key on the handset.  The Talk LED on the handset will flash to indicate the SPP-900 is in the PROGRAM mode.2. Enter the memory location to be used for storing the number (0 to 9).  The SPP-900 goes to speed dialPROGRAM sub-mode and establishes an RF link.3. Dial the number to be stored in the memory location.  Numbers are transferred to the base unit forsubsequent storage in non-volatile memory.4. Press the <Speed Dial> key on the handset.  The phone will store the digits in the non-volatile memoryin the base unit, shut-down the RF link, terminate the PROGRAM mode, and return to the STANDBYmode.  A happy tone will be emitted from the handset to indicate successful programming of thenumber and the keypad illumination will turn off.Any of the DTMF dialling keys can be used to store numbers in the speed dial memory independent of the defaultdialling method.  If the default dialling method is pulse when using the speed dial number, the digit <#> will beignored and the digit <*> will initiate temporary DTMF dialling.The <Redial> key can also be pressed to store the contents of the redial buffer to the memory location, but only if noother digit keys have been pressed first.A pause can be inserted into a memory location by pressing and holding the digit after the pause is required for two(2) seconds.  A key-beep will be heard with the initial key-press, and then again after two (2) seconds; the secondkey-beep indicates that a pause has been programmed.  Further key-beeps (and additional pauses) will be insertedevery two (2) seconds if the DTMF key is held continuously.3.3.2 Ringer Type ProgrammingThe SPP-900 supports four different ringer types and a ringer off state.  The ringer type is programmed as follows:

Press the <Program> key on the handset.  The Talk LED on the handset will flash to indicate the SPP-900 is in the PROGRAM mode.2. Press either the < *> or < #> keys to go to the ringer type PROGRAM sub-mode.3. Press any of the {<1> <2> <3> <4>} keys to select a new ringer type, the <5> key to turn the ringeroff, or the <0> key to maintain the current ringer selection.  After one of these keys is pressed, thecurrent ringer selection is sounded from the handset buzzer for the user’s reference.  These keys can becontinuously pressed indefinitely.4. Press the <Off> key to return the SPP-900 to the STANDBY mode.3.4 RINGING ModeThe RINGING mode occurs when a valid ring signal is applied to the base unit from the PSTN connection.  Thebase unit establishes an RF link to the handset, and sends commands to the handset causing it to ring with thecurrently selected ring type (if the ringer is turned off, the handset will not ring).  The commands are sent in cadencewith the received ring signal, making the SPP-900 virtually transparent to speciality ring types.If the handset is away from the base unit cradle, pressing any key on the handset (except <Off>) will cause the SPP-900 to go off-hook and answer the incoming call.  The feature is referred to as In the Dark Answering.If the handset is resting on the base unit cradle, lifting the handset from the cradle will cause the SPP-900 toautomatically answer the incoming call.  In this case, the Phone key will be disabled for the first 4 seconds to preventthe user from accidentally flashing the PSTN connection.When in the RINGING mode:<Talk> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE mode<Channel> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE mode<Off> - this key is locked outDialling Keys - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE mode<Program> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE modeRinging - causes the SPP-900 to remain in the RINGING mode<Handset Locator> - this key is locked outOn Cradle - causes the SPP-900 to remain in the RINGING modeOff Cradle - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE mode5s Ringing Timeout - returns the SPP-900 to the STANDBY mode3.5 PAGE ModeThe PAGE mode only occurs if the handset is in the STANDBY mode, the handset is away from the base unit cradle,and the <Handset Locator> button on the base unit is pressed.  In the PAGE mode, the handset emits a series of pagetones for 60 seconds; the page tones can be turned off by either pressing the <Off> key on the handset, or the<Handset Locator> key on the base unit.When in the PAGE mode:<Talk> - causes the SPP-900 to go to the PHONE mode<Channel> - this key is locked out<Off> - causes the SPP-900 to return to the STANDBY modeDialling Keys - these keys are locked out<Program> - this key is locked out

VTECH ENGINEERING CANADA LTD.TITLE Internal Product SpecificationMODEL Sony SPP-900 - Analog 900MHz Cordless TelephoneReference: PRC 00BE Revision: 2 Page: 19 of 28This document is proprietary to VTECH ENGINEERING CANADA LTD.15237.DOCSpecifications are preliminary and are subject to change without notice4  RF Link OperationThe radio frequency (RF) link is a full-duplex communication path between the SPP-900 base and the handset units.It is used to transfer both audio (voice) and data between the base and hands.  There are a total of 30 RF channelsavailable for communication.  Only one channel may be selected as the active channel at any instant, though there areprovisions to select to a different active channel when there are perceived interference on the current channel.4.1  RF Link DataData transmitted over the RF link are generally operational commands from the base to handset and vice-versa.When the SPP-900 is in the PHONE or PHONE/PAGE mode, both audio and data will be transmitted over the RFlink.  To minimise any perceptible impact on audio quality when data is interspersed within the voice transmission,receiver audio at the handset will be muted within ten (10) ms of start of data transfer.  Furthermore, normal datatransfers will be limited to no more than 100 ms in duration.  There will be no periodic muting during audio speech.When the SPP-900 is in the STANDBY mode, the base and handset will listen for data transmission from the otherrelating to the initiation of the PHONE, RINGER, PROGRAM or PAGE mode.  If the handset is away from thecradle, the handset will be in battery-conservation mode of operation, in which the on-board electronics is essentially“asleep” but will wake up periodically to check for incoming data transmitted from the base.  The handset will detectcommands sent from the base within one (1) second (maximum ringing delay), while the base will detect commandssent from the handset within 200 ms (maximum on/off-hook delay).4.2 Security CodeAll data communication over the RF link will include a security code as required by FCC Part 15.  When a datapacket is received over the RF link, the security code contained in the packet will be verified before any data isprocessed.  This prevents the handset from receiving commands from another base unit and vice-versa.The handset and base units will use an identical, 16-bit security code.  The security code is stored in the non-volatilememory in the base unit.  Part of the initialisation procedure of the SPP-900 includes the base generating a newsecurity code and transferring the security code to the handset via the charging contacts when the handset is placed inthe cradle.4.3  RF Channel SelectionIn order for the handset and base unit to communicate over the RF link, the selection of the active channel must besynchronised between the two units.  An active channel is initially selected during the SPP-900 initialisation process.If the RF link subsequently degrades during operation, recovery involves the selection of a new communicationchannel that may be either automatically or manually (user) initiated depending on the current operating mode of thephone.4.3.1 Background Channel ScanningBackground channel scanning is the only automatic channel selection performed on the SPP-900.  Backgroundchannel scanning occurs only when the handset is resting in the base unit charging cradle.When the base unit is in the STANDBY mode with the handset resting in its charging cradle, the base unit willmonitor the current channel for RF activity (through the use of the RSSI logic signal).  If the base unit detectsactivity for a continuous period exceeding 50 seconds, the base unit will initiate a channel scanning operation.

If no available channels can be found, the base unit will terminate channel scanning and return tothe STANDBY mode with the same active RF channel.If a new RF channel is found, the base unit will communicate the new selection over the original channel.  Once theacknowledgement is received, the new RF channel will become the active channel, and the phone will return to theSTANDBY mode.When the phone is back in the STANDBY mode, the base unit will resume monitoring the new channel forcontinuous RF activity, and initiate channel scanning operation again as required.During background channel scanning:Handset Key-presses - invalid condition (handset in cradle)Ringing - puts SPP-900 in the RINGING mode (active channel)<Page> - this key is locked out (handset in cradle)On Cradle - invalid condition (handset in cradle)Off Cradle - puts SPP-900 in the STANDBY mode (default channel)New Channel Select - puts SPP-900 in the STANDBY mode (new channel)No New Channel - puts SPP-900 in the STANDBY mode (default channel)4.3.2 Manual Channel SelectionManual channel change is available only when the SPP-900 is in the PHONE or PHONE/PAGE mode.  A manualchannel change is initiated by the user pressing the <Channel> key on the handset.Upon receipt of the channel change request, the base will tune its receiver to another RF channel and listens for RFactivity.  If the channel is free, it will be selected as the new active channel; if it is occupied, the base will tune itsreceiver to the another channel and continue. If all 30 channels are occupied, the new channel will be last channelchecked in the scanning sequence.After a new channel is selected, the base will return to the original active channel and transmit the new channelselection to the handset.  The handset will receive the channel and tunes its transmitter/receiver accordingly.4.3.3 Channel ResynchronisationIf the active channel between the base and handset becomes out of synchronisation so that further communicationsbetween the two units cannot be established, replacing the handset onto the base unit cradle will re-synchronise thechannel selection.  At that point, the SPP-900 will resume operation in the STANDBY mode.

There are noconnectors attached to the battery pack.   When fully charged, the battery will provide a minimum of seven (7) hoursof operation in the PHONE mode or six (6) days of operation in the STANDBY mode before requiring recharge.The battery pack will recharge automatically whenever the handset is placed in the cradle of the base unit.  Inaddition, the battery pack can also be recharged via a compatible remote charger.5.2  Low Battery IndicationThe SPP-900 will provide both audible and visual warning when low battery condition in the handset is detected.During the PHONE mode, the Talk LED will be on steady.  When the SPP-900 determines that the handset battery isrunning low, the Talk LED will change to flash at a rate of 33.3 cycles per second, with the LED is on for 50 ms andthen off for 2.95 seconds during each cycle.  In addition, a beep will be sounded for the duration (50 ms) when theTalk LED is on.  When the SPP-900 is in the STANDBY mode and low battery is detected, the Talk LED will flashin a similar pattern.  However, there will only be a single audible beep that accompanies the initial flash of the LEDin this mode.If the user presses the <Talk> key when the handset battery is low (but not completely drained), the SPP-900 willstill go into the PHONE mode.  In this case, there will be no visual indication at the handset to signify the SPP-900 isin the PHONE mode.  Instead of steady illumination, the Talk LED will continue to flash in the pattern that indicatesa low battery condition.  Only audible indication of the PHONE mode will be available, through the repeated beepwarning and the audio feedback from the PSTN.5.3 Power InterruptionEither the handset or base unit may occasionally suffer from power interruption during operation.  The handsetpower supply may be interrupted if the battery is physically removed from the compartment.  Alternatively, thehandset battery may be completely drained of its charges.  In the base unit, the power supply is interrupted when ACpower is available.In either case, the SPP-900 provides the capability to recover from the power interruption.  Operation in the PHONEmode will be maintained through a brief power interruption (up to 125 ms in duration) to the base unit.  In all otherinstances, the affected unit will be reset to allow the handset and base unit to re-establish RF communication andresume operation in the STANDBY mode.  As detailed in section 4, the critical information that will be restored toallow initiation of RF communication is the security code and the last active RF channel.  For the handset reset, thisinformation will be downloaded by the base unit through the charging contact when handset is placed in the cradle.For the base unit, this information will be restored directly from non-volatile memory.
