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 19).
After a power failure or handset registration, the system prompts you to set 
the date and time. 
To set the date and time manually:
When the handset is in idle mode, press MENU/SELECT to 
enter the main menu.
Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to Set date/time and then 
press MENU/SELECT.
Press qCID or pDIR to select the month, then press  
MENU/SELECT, or enter the number using the dialing keys.
Press qCID or pDIR to select the day, then press  
MENU/SELECT, or enter the number using the dialing keys.
Press qCID or pDIR to select the year, or enter the number 
using the dialing keys, then press MENU/SELECT to move on 
to set the time.
Press qCID or pDIR to select the hour, then press  
MENU/SELECT, or enter the number using the dialing keys.
Press qCID or pDIR to select the minute, then press  
MENU/SELECT, or enter the number using the dialing keys.
Press qCID or pDIR to highlight AM or PM, or press 2 for AM or  
7 for PM. Press MENU/SELECT to confirm. There is a confirmation tone and 
the screen returns to the previous menu. 
NOTE: If the clock is not set when a message is recorded, the system announces, “Time and 
day not set,” before it plays the message.
