Adjusting the Volume of Pages

You can adjust the volume of pages while they play. During a page, press one of the Volume keys,

, to raise or lower the page volume.

If you adjust the volume of a non-emergency page, your phone will use the adjusted volume for subsequent

non-emergency pages. However, the volume of an Emergency page is preset and cannot be changed.

Changing Where Pages are Played

While you send a page, you can pick up the handset, or press or and continue speaking. You

can also press to mute your audio so that the people receiving your page won’t hear anything. This

behavior is similar to a phone call. When you receive a page, the page is always played through the phone’s

speakerphone—you can’t play it through your handset or headset.

Customizing Your Phone

In the previous chapters, you’ve learned how to customize calls—such as how to change call volume,

forward incoming calls in a special way, or divert calls from a contact. But what if you want to customize the

display? This chapter shows you how you can customize your phone’s screen so that it’s unique to you. Basic

customizations include changing the time and date format and updating the screen brightness.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to do the following:

• Change the time and date display

• Change the backlight settings

• Set up power saving mode

Time and Date Display

The time and date display in the status bar. If the phone can’t obtain a time and date, the time and date

display will ﬂash. Contact your system administrator if the display ﬂashes, or either the time or date is incorrect.

Note: The time and/or date is not able to be changed locally from your phone as it is updated and

synchronized automatically with a National Time Server. However, you are able to update your time zone

via the managedIP web portal.

You can choose from a variety of time and date display formats, including options to display the day, month,

or year. You can also turn the time and date display off, so it doesn’t display at all. Select and set options that

are right for you.
