The answering system must be on to review or change settings. 2. Caller ID provides the time and date. Set the year so that the day of the week can be calculated from the caller ID information. After you set the time once, it will always be set automatically with incoming caller ID information. The time will be set automatically only if you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your local telephone company (page 15). 21
