Answering system operation
Day & time announcements
To set day and 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 on the left to set the day and time, so
messages are dated correctly. If the clock is not
set, before playing messages, the system will
announce "power failure" each time.
To begin, press and hold the CLOCK RESET button
for two seconds.
The system uses voice prompts to guide you.
Each time you press SKIP or REPEAT, the
day, hour, minute or year increases or decreases
by one. When you hear the correct setting, press
CLOCK RESET to move to the next setting.

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 always
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 15).
