everytime I turn it on I have to reset the date! Anyone else have that problem? That has never happened before and is very frustrating

That is odd, I set the date once and that is it, good luck, hope you get it all figured out.

just move up to no date and click in the middle of the round tarrent to eliminate the date setting.

Your auxiliary battery needs replacing. Pull the dime-sized disk out of the camera's side - it is the black tab marked "CR1220". You can get replacement battery at pharmacies or Walmart's watch section (what I've done, for about $3) or a camera store or probably online (but the shipping/handling will cost you more than the battery itself).

I went about a week, forgetting to set it at midnight (who thinks about these things at midnight???) Anyway, I suggest that you set your cell phone alarm (or tablet alarm) to the time you want it to remind you to set the timer :o)

I wish I could help you..........I have mine set for just weekdays and different times for weekends. It's not very intuitive and when I've had to make changes it takes too long a time to re-learn what to do. But it works really well once it's set, and the override button is great. I encourage you to just review the tiny print instructions and play with the thing, eventually you'll get the settings you want. I've learned these digital devices with so many bells and whistles are annoying but I also figure it's part of keeping my head in current technology and I don't want to be too behind the tech curve. You wanted technical advice, not lifestyle....my apologies and good luck!

Try the reset button on the back. These tablets are pretty terrible. All kinds of problems with ours. Good luck

I had that problem for a long time until I finally figured out that I had to set the date and time absolutely correctly according to the directions in the instruction book. Use the instructions exactly to reset date and time--always use the 0 before dates like the 5th: 05, for example. Although the display may look right without the two digits for each entry, your answering machine won't give the right time and date. Follow the instructions exactly and it will solve your problem. This drove me crazy until I figured out I had to set it precisely as instructed in booklet.

Use the menu to set the date & time. As with all electronic devices it's weird. Trial & error is the way to go.

I had this happen only once. Seems like the device was in a weird state. I left it alone all day -- until the blue light was off, in fact all lights were off. I was trying to let the battery die completely. Once it did, I turned it on and everything came up ok. I was frustrated that I could find no way to do a "factory reset' and reconfigure it. If there's a way to do that I'd be interested.

Not sure if this will work but you can try holding the set button down till the month on the display starts blinking.

Thanks to the posters with the tip on resetting the date. I never would have figured this out. Thank you, thank you!

I don't understand the question either. I can't get my phone to stay on regular am/pm time. It always reverts back to military time!

I have the same problem. Not only that, but there seems to be an issue with the power button whether using the remote or pushing the button manually. I like its features when it works, but this power issue makes me think I got one off of the line from late Friday production run because it is crap.

This morning, my unit is blank. I changed batteries and the 2008 (I assume year?) flashes, but I cannot set the date. Nothing happens when I follow the manual's instructions.

I struggled with this too until I realized you actually have to keep pressing up to increment the date day by day, through the months and years 'til you arrive at today. If you just hold the button, it moves much more quickly, of course.

That is an easy fix. It happened to me when I first got the phone. You need to change the date and time setting on the menu to manual instead of by caller id. I'm pretty sure that will resolve your issue.

I enter the time, but I saw that my daughter just hit start.... maybe there's an automatic setting of 1 minute. We'll have to go back and read the manual, you and I !!!

Maybe un plug for a while and then start it up from scratch again! Then update on line from Panasonic. May also be a glitch from settings, so might have to be reset to factory settings! Let me what happens!

Press MENU twice that will take you to settings. Use the down arrow to scroll to date/time, hit OK USE ARROWS & OK buttons to set date & time. Good luck
