Answering system operation
Day & time announcement
To set day & time
Before playing  each  message,  the  answering  system 
announces  the  day  and  time  the  message  was 
received. 
Before using the answering system, follow the steps 
at left to set the year, time and day, so messages are 
dated correctly.  If  the clock  was  not  set when  the 
message  was  recorded,  the  system  will  announce 
"Time and day not set."
The  system  uses  voice  prompts  to guide  you.  Each 
time you press  SKIP or  REPEAT, the year, hour, 
minute or day increases or decreases by one.  When 
you hear the correct setting, press CLOCK to move 
to the next setting.
To check day & time
You can press CLOCK at any time to hear the cur-
rent day and time without changing it.
NOTES:
1.  Press and hold  SKIP  or  REPEAT to increase or decrease 
the minutes or year by increments of ten.
2.  Caller ID provides the time and date. Set the year so that 
the  day  of the  week can  be calculated  from  the caller  ID 
information. After you set the time once, it will thereafter be 
set  automatically  with  incoming  caller  ID  information. The 
time will be set automatically only if you subscribe to caller 
ID  service  provided by  your  local  telephone company  (page 
30).
