I need to change to time and date on my T7208 telephone

I managed to find the manual, but it does not say a thing about this. I think your provider has to give you the information, with the incoming call. When he switched that information of, your phone can't display it. Sometimes the providers charge you extra for that service. If, on the same extension, another phone did display the number, perhaps hetre is a way to switch it on, but I could not find it.
The link is to the manual.

The digit "1" might be sticky or defective on the key pad
-If sticky then try to wiggle digit "1" free or spray a proper computer contact cleanser around it and wiggle it around, all while holding the phone up and down so the run off does not go onto the motherboard.
-If defective call your local vendor/tech to have it replaced with a refurbished set
You could try to unplug the phone for a few seconds then plug it back in and wait for it to boot up.

If there is another phone that this doesn't happen on, try changing your handset with that one. If this doesn't fix the problem it most likely is your telephone.

1. Press Feature x x 8463 (x x TIME) you should have Password displayed on your telephone.

2. Enter 22742 (BASIC) or 23646 (ADMIN) you now should have Hour on your display.

3. Now press Change and enter the correct hours using the key pad

4. Press NEXT and you should have Minutes displayed on your telephone, now press CHANGE and enter the correct Minutes.

5. Press NEXT and you should have Year displayed on your telephone, now press CHANGE and enter the correct Year.

6. Press NEXT and you should have Month displayed on your telephone, now press CHANGE and enter the correct Month.

7. Press NEXT and you should have Day displayed on your telephone, now press CHANGE and enter the correct Day.

8. Now you will have ---End of List--- displayed on your screen, you can now press Rls or handset down button to come out of programming.

Hi there...

OK, the Nortel T7208 set works only on a Nortel system.
It has only one line cord plugged into it, cause the telephone system can be programmed for more telephone lines and features from the system.

If you want just a home (analog) telephone service; look at Aastra/ Telematrix/ there are others - 2 line sets.

ONLY buy this Nortel set is you have a Norstar system. Otherwise the set will not work for you. It needs a system to run off.

Good luck in your search!
