Internet.
u
The date and time on your base should be updated by a time server on the
Internet.

The base will have to be connected to a PC if you wish to use the following features
of your base:
u
You wish to set up the base using its Web configurator.
u

to dial numbers via the PC (e.g., numbers from the PC directory) or to load
images or melodies from the PC to your base.
