Time and Date Display

The phone maintains a local clock and calendar. Time and date can be displayed in certain operating modes such as when the phone is idle and during a call. The clock and calendar must be synchronized to a remote Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) timeserver. The time and date displayed on the phone will flash continuously to indicate that they are not accurate until a successful SNTP response is received. The time and date display can use one of several different formats and can be turned off.

For instructions on turning off the time and date display, refer to Polycom VVX 1500 D Display on page 3-2.
