Setting the Clock
The Clock records the day and time of each message received. The clock needs to be set when CL blinks
in the window.
To set the clock:
1. Set VOLUME to the middle.
2. Hold down CLOCK for about 2 seconds until you hear a day of the week (for example, "Sunday"),
then release CLOCK. The CL display changes to a number that corresponds to a day of the week (1 =
Sunday, 2 = Monday, and so on).
To set the day:
3. Hold down FWD or REPEAT until the number for the correct day is displayed, then release the button.
You will hear the new day setting when you release the button.

example, "12 AM") and the Message Window will display the hour (for example "12").
To set the hour:
5. Hold down FWD or REPEAT until the number for the correct hour is displayed, then release the
button. You will hear the new hour setting when you release the button. Check that the hour is
correctly set for AM or PM. To change this setting, hold down FWD to advance 12 hours.
6. After you hear the correct hour setting, press and release CLOCK. You will hear a minute setting (for
example, "oh one") and the Message Window will display the minute (for example, "01").
7. To set minute, hold down FWD or REPEAT until the numbers for the correct minute are displayed,
then release the button. You will hear the minute setting when you release the button.
8. After you hear the correct minute setting, press and release CLOCK. You will hear the complete day
and time setting.
To correct or change settings, begin again at Step 2:
After you set the clock, the number in the Message Window will blink if you need to record an
announcement.
Audible Clock
To hear the clock setting at any time:
1. Set VOLUME to the middle.
2. Tap (quickly press and release) CLOCK.
Announcements to Callers
Before using your answering system, you should record an announcement. This is what callers will hear
when the system answers a call.
You can record 3 different announcements on this system: A, B, and AO.
When your system is set to AO, Announce Only, it will answer calls and play the AO announcement, but it
will not record messages.
To use the system, you only need to record one announcement. However, if you record more than one, you
can then change the announcement without recording a new one.
To Record an Announcement
1. Move ANNC SELECT, located at the back of the unit, to the announcement you want to record.
