Setting the Time and Date
Set the time and date to permit the MultiFlo FX to record "last run" and "last
modified" data for each protocol. Only the U.S. date format is available
(MM/DD/YYYY). An internal battery keeps the time and date valid when the
instrument is turned off. Always set both the time zone and the actual time, i.e.
selecting the time zone does not synchronise the time setting.
1. Select Instrument from the Home screen, press Next and then, Other.
2. Select Set Time and Date.
3. Update the time zone, date, and time:
l Time Zone: Touch the Select Time Zone button and select the option that
matches your location. GMT = Greenwich Mean Time.
l Time: Touch the time field to open a number pad. Enter the current hour and
minutes to set the 24 hour clock. Touch the number field to put it in edit
mode.
l Date: Touch today's date on the calendar to select it. Press the previous or
next arrows (up or down) to scroll to the correct month.
4. Press Save.
5. Restart the instrument.
Remember to update the time in accordance with annual time shifts, like Daylight
Savings Time, if applicable.
Note: The sort order of the protocol list on the Home screen determines which date is
displayed. When "Last run" is selected, this date is shown, when the list is sorted
"Alphabetically" the last modified date is displayed. Select Instrument>Preferences to
change the sort order.
