3. Time and Date
How It Works
When a Norstar telephone is in its normal rest state, the display
shows the current Time and Date. For example:
1 Mar 31 3:45 pm 1
As with any electric clock, the display will have to be reset after a
power interruption, which may cause your clocks to temporarily
stop.
Entries to the Time and Date display must be in numeric form,
using one or two digits. For example, the third month (March in
most countries) can be entered as either “3” or “03”.
During normal service: The English display reading is always in
12-hour format, and the Alternate language display is always in 24-
hour format.
In Administration: When you adjust the time, the hour is shown in
24-hour format. For example, 2 p.m. appears as 14:O0. The hour
may be entered in 12-hour or 24-hour format. If the system is being
administered in English and the hour entered is less than 13, the
display prompts you to specify “cam” or ‘pm”.
