Changing the System Time on a 3x8 or 824 DR5 or DR5.1: 

Here are things you need to know:

  • If you are on a Norstar 824 system, you will need to use a 2 line display phone such as an M7310, T7316e.  Not a M7208 or T7208.  (Any phone will work on a 3x8 Norstar system).  If immediately after entering the logon id, the phone beeps and says access denied, please review your phone type.
  • I use names like [NEXT], [SHOW], [CHANGE].  These correspond to some of the function buttons on the phone.  It varies by phone type.  You will see arrows on the display next to the active buttons.  There is a template in the documentation guides.  But, NEXT is normally the bottom or lower right button, and change is normally the top button. 
  • Lastly, feel free to call me at 407-679-6238 if you have questions. 
  • Let me know if you have problems with the following instructions to make them easier to follow.
