Day and time announcements
To set day & time
Before playing each message, the answering sys-
tem announces the day and time the message was
received.
Before using the answering system, you should fol-
low the steps on the left to set the day and time,
so messages are dated correctly.
The system uses voice prompts to guide you. Each
time you press CHANGE, the day, hour, minute or
year advances by one. When you hear the correct
setting, press TIME/ SET to move to the next setting.
To check day & time
You can press TIME /SET at any time to hear the
current day and time without changing it.
NOTES:
1. Press and hold CHANGE to advance the minute or year by increments of
10 (the year can be set from 2000 to 2039).
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 (see page 6).
