Note: this guide is for cordless handsets that were configured as Generic SIP devices. The proper way to set the time zone in enhanced-provisioned devices is through the Control Panel. Check the article How To Assign and Manage Devices on UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT to learn how to do it.
The date and time are displayed on the idle screen of your handset. The handset obtains the date and time from the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server by default. If your handset cannot obtain the date and time from the SNTP server, you need to configure the date and time manually.
You can configure the time format and date format respectively. The handset supports two-time formats (12 Hour or 24-hour) and seven date formats. The available date formats are listed in the following table:
Date Format | Example (2014-5-28) |
WWW MMM DD | Wed. May 28 |
DD-MMM-YY | 28-May-14 |
YYYY-MM-DD | 2014-05-28 |
DD/MM/YYYY | 28/05/2014 |

DD MMM YYYY | 28 May 2014 |
