Set date/time
The answering system announces the day and time of each message prior to playing it. Before using the answering system, set the date and time as follows. If you subscribe to caller ID service, the day, month and time are set automatically with each incoming call. The year must be set so that the day of the week can be calculated from the caller ID information. You can turn off the date and time settings of the caller ID service and set the date and time manually (see Use caller ID to automatically set date and time on page 27).
After a power failure, the system prompts you to set the date and time.
To set the date and time manually:
1.When the telephone base is in idle mode, press MENU/SELECT to enter the main menu.
2.Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Set date/time and then press MENU/SELECT.
3.Press qCID or pDIR to select the month, then press MENU/SELECT, or enter the number using the dialing keys.
4.Press qCID or pDIR to select the day, then press MENU/SELECT, or enter the number using the dialing keys.
