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 use your own 
settings for each incoming call (see the Use caller ID to automatically set 
date and time section on the following page).
After a power failure or handset deregistration, the system needs to reset the 
date and time.
