Install Batteries. Press Set, and you may need to look at the LCD at an angle, but you should see the year. Use Up/Down buttons to chg to 2009, press Set again. Press Select again and you'll see mo/date/time at very top of LCD...First digit will be flashing - use Up/Down to adjust, press Set. Press Delete to exit. To set Caller Announce - press Set, press Up until you see Set 8 Speech (screen is verry bad - I had to keep looking at it from an angle). Screen should show default setting of ON - use Up/Down to select On/Off - press set to confirm your slection.
The ringer volume is in the back, near the line plug-ins. Use the first plug-in for your phn line, the other for accessories (ans mach, fax, etc).
To set Ringtone, press Flash to select the music or ringtone you want. There are 16 choices. THIS IS WHERE I'M HAVING A PROBLEM: HOW THE HECK DO YOU SAVE YOUR SELECTION? MY PHONE WON'T RING! Caller announce works, but it is poor voice quality and volume. I think I've tried everything! I called the Cust Serv # given at this site 800-374-2744, and they say they can't help - that product has been discontinued and they can't even give a manufacturer name! If anyone figures how to make this phone ring, please post! As this person said, no returns/exchangs at Goody's after today.
