    I do not have a clue on how to set the time and the date

  • markkretz Aug 09, 2008

    Thanks Bell South for making a terribly un-user friendly machine!  I just wasted half an hour pressing every combination of buttons and that stupid voice just kept repeating the same date and time to me.  I cannot believe these engineers and designers spent thousands of dollars and years in school to create such a piece of **** message machine that I can't even set the date and time on it.  May you be cursed to have to waste as much time as we've all spent trying to figure out your pathetically designed machine.

Found my manual!
To set the time, press and hold the time/code button for 2 seconds. You will hear "TO SET CODE PRESS TIME AND CODE BUTTON."
Release the time/code button.
Press the 2 way/m button once. You will hear "SET DAY AND TIME, SUNDAY"
Press the << or >> button until you hear the correct day.
Press the time/code button once. You will hear "TWELVE"
Press the << or >> button until you hear the correct hour.
Press the time/code button once. You will hear "OH".
Press the << or >> button until you hear the correct minutes.
Press the time/code button once. You will hear "PM".
Press the << or >> button if you need to change to AM.
Press the time/code button once and you will hear the complete time and day setting.

To record an outgoing message, press and hold the ogm button. Release the ogm button and start to record after you hear "PLEASE RECORD AFTER THE TONE" followed by a beep tone. When finished, press the ogm button.

Make sure you put a battery in the answering machine so you don't lose these settings if the power goes out!

Sorry I hit the wrong button having the same trouble. I can set time and date but when it comes to outgoing message I done it before, I can't remember how. When I find out I'm writing it down. Sorry again, this is not a solution it just adds to the problem

Instructions for model 1188

Hi Diana - To record your outgoing message, hold down your ogm button ( outgoing message) for two seconds and it will ask you to record a message. To play back your message, just push the same button and it will play your message. If you don't like it just do it again. If this solves your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. If you need more help just add a comment and I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks and have a good day.

Change time & day

Does your system have a time/code button? If it does, hold the button down for about 5 or so seconds until you hear the date, then use your arrow keys up above & change to appropriate date & time.
