K. Date and Time Stamping
Everytime you print or record a
conversation/message, it automatically records
the date and time at the beginning of your call,
presuming that the clock is set prior to this.
Follow these steps for setting the clock, and
remember that
NO RETURN KEY PRESS IS
NECESSARY IN THIS OPERATION. The
machine will jump automatically from step to
step, if the step was completed correctly.
1. Hold down and press T to set
the built-in timer. It shows the current
timer settings, then it prompts you to
enter the current time
ENTER HOUR=MINUTE= .
(If you do not want to change, just hold
down and press twice
to return to normal TTY operation). Type
in hour, minutes-2 digits for each entry,
with no space or separation key in
between. For example, for 1:36 you would
enter 0136. Note: It will not accept a
time setting like 23:05, you have to
enter 11:05 PM
. After entering a group of
4 valid digits, it will prompt you for choos-
ing AM or PM:
ENTER AM/PM=. You have to
type A or P for your choice.
2. The clock screen prompts you now for
today’s date ENTER MONTH=DATE=YEAR= .
Again, the correct input is two digits for
each- month, day, year- without any sep-
aration character or space. For Example,
for July 8, 2000 you would enter 070800.
3. Once the last digit of the year setting
typed, the machine returns to the opera-
tion previous to the clock setting proce-
dure. To check the time, hold down
and press
T again, and the current set-
ting will appear on the screen. If you want
to change anything, hit ENTER until you
get to the screen you need, and follow
one of the steps above. If you want to go
back to your operation, hold down
and hit twice. (pressing
once will take you back to step 1)
4. The date and time clock will continue to
run whether or not the AC adapter/charg-
er is plugged in or not, presuming that the
battery pack is charged. To check the cur-
rent date and time hold down and
press T .
