How to set time and date on Ativa? AVR-4 Digital Answering System?

Now that you've finally gotten around to specifying the model of your phone, follow the instruction on page 14 of the CS6429-3 manual.

go to settings scroll to time and date then follow the instructions.

you can contact the service provider......

I had the same problem but couldn't figure it out either ..... UNTIL, I changed the date and time (which was very old, actually Sept/2007) to the current date, year, time, am/pm, etc.

After I changed the date, time, year, etc. my phone went back to its normal default of 3 or 4 rings & then the answering message plays.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

This model number (AD 583) is now discontinued (see this link) and the manual is not available for download.

You will have to contact the manufacturer's customer support department on 1877-777-4357 (Monday through Friday

Thanks for using FixYa

Hi there, I found my manual that states:
Press MENU/SELECT to display menu when in idle mode.
Press the up or down triangles to reach DATE/TIME. Press MENU/SELECT.
Use the keypad to set the year. Press MENU/SELECT.
Use the keypad to set the date. Press MENU/SELECT,
Use the keypad to set the time. Press the up or down triangles to select a.m. or p.m. Press MENU/SELECT
The screen displays STORED and you'll hear a confirmation beep.

Hello,


One thing Radio Shack's answering machine [model number 43-3829], is NOT, is intuitive. But I guess you know that already. ;-)

To set the date and time, perform each of the steps below in quick succession, otherwise the machine will drop you out of the process and you’ll have to start over. You have about five seconds between each step, so try and make a mad dash for the finish line (Steps 4.-5.).

Setting Date and Time on Your Answering Machine:

(To set Day…)

1. Turn the answering machine on and hold down the TIME SET/CHECK/>> button until it beeps twice.

2. Press ANNC/DAY/<< repeatedly until the correct day displays / is indicated.

(To set Hour…)

3. Press REC repeatedly until you reach/hear the correct hour.

(To set Minutes…)

4. Press >|| (PLAY) repeatedly until you hear the correct minute(s).

(To Review/Confirm...)

5. Press TIME SET/CHECK/>> once. The machine will play the time and day you entered.


Note:

To exit/cancel the time- and date-setting mode, press ON/OFF/STOP once.

Hope this helps! If you have additional questions, please let me know and I’ll do my best to help.
