Set date and time
The answering system announces the date and time of each message prior to
playing it. Before using the answering system, set the date and time as follows. If
you subscribe to caller ID service, the day, month and time are set automatically
with each incoming call. However, the year must be correct so that the day of the
week can be calculated from the caller ID information. You can also turn off the
date and time settings of the caller ID service (see
CID time synchronization
on
page 17) and set the date and time manually.
