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 until a successful SNTP response is received to indicate that they are not accurate. The time and date display can use one of several different formats and can be turned off.
