How do I change the time display on Norstar Startalk 180 - can't find anything in manual relating to this?

Before you can do anything you need a M7310. Programming a Nortel voice mail requires M7310. It uses the 3 soft keys under the display to program it. You can get one cheap on EBAY. Next you need to find out what type of Voice Mail System in connected to your Nortel phone system. Below is a link to a Older StarTalk manual. You may have a StarTalk, StarTalk Flash, or a Call Pilot.

The default code and password for System Admin is F983 and 1020000 or 1021111. The photo below shows a system admin programming tree. Hope this helps

"Q: My Norstar Startalk, Flashtalk, or voice mail says my mailbox is not accepting any more messages. I deleted all my messages, but callers still cannot leave a message. Why?
A: Check with your voice mail administrator. Chances are another Mailbox on the system used up all the message storage space. Usually it's the general delivery mailbox that hasn't been checked for messages on a regular basis."

Once in the AA menu of f983 there is a setting for day and night based on the time and day of the week.

These should help you out.
