22 Advanced text messaging: Example 6 — Displaying the time and date
Advanced text messaging
Before attempting the following, make sure you’re familiar with the
previous examples in the “Beginning text messaging” section of this
manual.
Example 6 — Displaying the time and date
NOTE: Because the time and date are not updated when the sign is
off, the time and date must be re-programmed each
time the
sign is turned off and on.
Step When you do this... You see this...
In this example, we’ll create a message that continuously displays the current time and date:
1
Delete all the messages currently stored in the sign.
(See “Example 5 — Deleting messages” on page 21.)
2 Press PROGRAM.
3 Press SELECT.
4 Press A.
5

Appendix A for a list of the
modes available.)
