    At the moment, you probably don't need to do anything if your Orchid is working normally.

    Next weekend though, you will need to manually correct the clock to take account of the GMT to BST time change. How to do that is explained HERE (take a print of that post for future reference).

    Quentin posted above a link to the zip file Orchid provided showing how to manually (using a telephone's DTMF keypad) alter Orchid settings. That is not easy to follow though so, if you PM me an email address, I'll send you a copy of Kevin Lawry's clever Excel file program which, although intended for use with a modem, shows the character strings to use for various settings - which can be used manually.

    I would suggest though that you email or give Orchid a ring next week and see if, like jstallan did, you can obtain a printout of your Orchid's current program. With that retained, you will be able to decide upon necessary changes and record details of whatever you do.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
