Setting the Internal Clock/Calendar
An internal clock provides the date (corrected for leap years) and time to the
Product CPU (Central Processing Unit). Check the clock setting and set it if
necessary.
Note
A long-life battery keeps the clock running during power-off periods.
If the battery in your Product should ever need replacement, see the
Service Manual. The battery is a button type that is installed on the
CPU Assembly (A20). Any procedure that involves removing the
cover must performed only by qualified service personnel.
To set or change the time and date of the internal clock:
1. To set the date or both date and time, unsecure the Product using the
security passcode.
2. Push the Setup Menu>System Settings and Date/Time softkeys. The
display changes to the Date/Time menu.
3. There are multiple choices for the date display format. The active format is
identified under Date Format. Push Date Format to change the date display
format to one of the following choices:
• M/D/Y, for example, 3/05/2015 for March 5, 2015.
• D.M.Y., for example, 5.03.2015 for March 5, 2015.
• YMD, for example, 20150305 for March 5, 2015. This format is typical for
computer program use.
4. The choices available under the Date/Time softkey are DAY, MONTH,
YEAR, HOUR, MINUTE, and SECOND. To make changes, touch the
appropriate field (for example, Month) and using the numeric keypad, enter
the new value. Push Done when complete. If you make a mistake, use the
Delete softkey to make a correction. To exit the entry window, push Cancel.
Note
Time is shown in 24-hour format and includes leading zeros.
5. When finished setting the clock, push Exit.
