Time
The time setting affects phones and/or firmware versions with a digital clock only. If the phone has a
clock face, changing the setting will not affect it.
1. Open Preferences > General Information > 24 Hour Clock. The default is "on".
◦ Select "on" to have the time on the phone's display shown in 24-hour format, 00:01 to 24:00 .
◦ Select "off" to have the time on the phone's display shown in AM/PM format, 0:01 AM to 12:00
PM.
2. Click on "Apply" and "Save".
Time zone
The phone receives the time and date from your NTP time server. If the time and/or date on the display
are incorrect, you may need to set the correct time zone. If you have set the correct time zone and the
time is still incorrect, there may be a problem with the time server. Contact your network administrator
or your IP provider.
The list of time zones is arranged by the difference in hours (+/-) to the UTC and, within each time
zone, alphabetically by selected locations (country or country and city). The time zone can be selected
and set on the phone as well as on the web interface.
