How To Set The Cellsocket's Clock

The discontinued Cellsocket has an internal clock that should be set so that Caller ID information that is sent to remote CID units will show the correct time and date that the incoming call occurred. This clock will also have to be reset if there is a power interruption to the Cellsocket. It is not mandatory that the clock be set, but it is a good idea. It is suggested that the Cellsocket's power supply be plugged into a UPS unit to avoid resetting the clock. This will also allow the user to continue to use the Cellsocket and connected wired phones even during a power failure.

Follow the steps below to properly set the internal clock in the Cellsocket:

1. Remove your cell phone from the powered Cellsocket and lay it down. You must have the cell phone out of the Cellsocket to perform the clock setting procedure.

2. Pickup any connected wired phone, you will hear the "busy" signal.

3. From that connected wired phone press the "*" (star) key, the "busy" signal will stop.

4. Immediately enter the date in mm/dd format followed by the time in 24hr format (ie: 1730 for 5:30 PM) followed by the "#" (pound) key.

5. You will hear a recognition "Beep" tone and the "busy" signal will return.

6. Hang up the corded phone and replace the cell phone into the Cellsocket's cradle.

Your Cellsocket's internal clock is now set and will display the correct date and time of each incoming call on remote Caller ID units.

Note: If you have remote Caller ID units connected to the Cellsocket and they read "CellSocket" with the date and time instead of the incoming phone number and stored name, then Caller ID information is not being being picked up by the Cellsocket from the cell phone's data connection. There is nothing that can be done if this occurs with your cell phone. The Cellsocket does not read the data from Motorola GSM phones.
