the ringer volume.

does not affect base ringer volume.
•  If the ringer volume is set to off, that 
handset  or  the  telephone  base  is 
silenced for all incoming calls.
•  The  ringer  volume  level  also 
determines  the  ringer  levels  of 
intercom calls.
Set date and time
The  answering  system  announces  the 
day 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.
After  handset  registration  or  a  power 
failure,  the  handset  will  prompt  you  to 
set the date and time.
