This System Programming procedure sets the time that appears on system display phones.
This article gives information on System Time (#103).
Related features:
- Backup Programming - Automatic (#123) uses the System Time to schedule the automatic backups
- Backup Programming - Automatic (#123) and Backup Programming - Manual (#124) do not backup the System Time
- Restore Programming (#125) does not restore the System Time
Considerations:
- Be sure that the System Time is set correctly before using backup or restore procedures
- Enter the time in 24-hour notation. In this scheme, the hours of the day are 0000 (12 midnight) to 2359 (11:59 p.m.). Since each time must have four digits, use leading zeros when necessary. For example, to set the time to 9:00 a.m., enter 0900. For 4:45 p.m., enter 1645
- The time appears on system display phones as a.m. or p.m. (not in 24-hour notation)
