2.3 Setting the time and date
The time and date of the Accutrend
®
GC can be set and
changed. The time must also be changed from summer to win-
ter time and vice versa, and 29 February must be entered in a
leap year. The buttons are recessed to protect them from being
pressed inadvertently. To operate these two buttons you can
use – for example – a ballpoint pen.
For your data to be stored with the important information “date
and time”, these must first be set correctly.
The time can be displayed in either the 12-hour or 24-hour for-
mat. If the 12-hour format is chosen, the time is displayed as
numbers from 1 to 12 with the addition of AM (before 12
noon) or PM (after 12 noon), e.g. PM 3:43.
If the 24-hour format is chosen, the time is displayed in num-
bers from 1 to 24, e.g. 15:43.
The default setting for Accutrend
®
GC is the 24-hour format.
The following instructions describe how to change it to the
12-hour format.
