The following Nortel telephone system service instruction are for programming the Nortel Norstar MICS and CICS Telephone systems Time and Date Settings. Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday Nov. 6, 2011 at 2:00 P.M.

Note: Administrator password is required to access programming.

Time and date programming allows you to set the time and date that is shown on the display when a telephone is not in use. As with any clock, this needs to be set every time your office has a power failure and when you change between Daylight Savings and Standard Time.

Tips

·         All times and dates must be entered using numerals. For example, February would be entered as "2."

·         The time may be entered in either 12- or 24-hour format. If the display is in English, and the hour entered is less than thirteen, the display prompts you to specify am or pm.

·         The year is not shown on the telephone display, but make sure that it set correctly. Norstar is programmable to allow for leap years.

·         English language displays always show the time in 12-hour format, while the alternate language displays always use the 24-hour format.

Norstar Programming Overlay

The programming overlay is a paper cutout that labels the telephone buttons used during programming. The programming overlay is provided at the end of the System Coordinator Guide.
