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.

Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

Central	Configuration file:	Turn time and date display on or off.
