Cannot find instructions to name a telephone

This has to be changed within the telephone system and not on the phone. I hope this helps. If not you may contact me at: http://www.liveperson.com/nortel-guy

The date and the callers name should display on the telephone. You cannot display the time stanp, however you can press 7 to listen to the message envelope, which includes the time stamp.

If you are using this phone on a Panasonic KX-TDA 30/100/200/600 system.
From the Switcboard / Main telephone or Managers phone with the handset on the cradle/hook:
1. Press PROGRAM * * or PROGRAM * # followed by the system password ( default is 1234).
2. Now press 004 and then ENTER.
3. Enter the extension number you want to change.
4. Enter the name (the same way as texting on a cellphone)
5. To save the changes press AUTO DIAL / STORE.
6. To go to the next extension press NEXT on the screen.
7. Lift the handset and put it down to exit program mode.

Changing the programming on a Partner system is done on either ext 10 or 11. At one of those ext's press the feature key and "00"
next press the left hand intercom twice
the display should say system programming
press the left hand intercom button
the display should say central telephone prog extension:
enter in the extension number of the persons phone you wish to rename
the display should say program extension xx
press the left hand intercom button
the display should say the extension number followed by the existing programmed name
enter in name of new person by pressing the number where the letter is then its order on the button so under the 2 button 1 would be A, 2 would be B, and 3 would be C ex. BILL = 22 - 43 - 53 - 53 use the mic/hfai button to erase entry.

either press the right hand intercom to go to the next extension or press feature 00 to exit

This is probably not related to the phone itself but more likely related to the telephone system it connects to. You can configure an IP phone to connect to a telephone system at a external service provider but I would be surprised if their time was out by seven minutes so I'm guessing that you have an IP PBX in your office somewhere. It would have the names of the people at the different extensions. You probably have a support person who looks after your computers and operating systesms it is fairly normal in smaller offices for that person to also look after the telephones. I do this for two small businesses which have about 40 employees all togeather. Have a chat to your boss, someone should be responsabile for your phone system too. As time goes by it will just get worse and if it has a failure someone should know how it all works. Hope this hepls

The side buttons is programmed as extensions
To change the extension names follow these steps :

If you are using the KX-T7730 phone on a Panasonic KX-Txx 308 or 824 system.
From the Switchboard / Main telephone ( usually ext 101, 10 or 9 ) with the handset on the cradle/hook :
1. Press PROGRAM * # followed by the system password ( default is 1234).
2. Now press 604 and then SP-PHONE. Enter the jack number you wish to change ( 01 is extension 101, 02 is extension 102 etc. ).
3. Enter the name ( basically the same as texting on a cellphone ). Press AUTO DIAL / STORE to save your change.
4. To go to the next extension press SP-PHONE. Don’t forget to press AUTO DIAL / STORE to save your change after each name entered.
5. Press PROGRAM to exit program mode and you are done.

you would need to get into the admin programming to change the name, have your system admin person make the change for you.

it depends on the phone system type. The name changes are done in programming mode. But to enter programming varies by system. You need tech support.
