Considerations and Constraints
The date and time shown on MLX telephones is controlled by the processor
module in the control unit. When the date or time changes, the control unit sends
the message to MLX telephones one at a time, which can cause a slight

Users with analog multiline telephones with displays must set the time and date at
their individual telephones.
