8. “dAtE” ERROR MESSAGE
The "dAtE" menu item appears as an error message following meter reset when the meter
determines that the date in the meter is in error. This can result from a deeply discharged
battery or entry of an incorrect “dAtE" value. To restore normal operation, use the PEAK and
RESET keys to enter the correct current “dAtE" value in MMDDYY format, and press the
Menu key to store that date. The meter can then perform its normal meter reset sequence.
After the "dAtE" error message has been displayed and corrected, it is likely the "tiME"
menu item will also be in error and needs to be corrected.
“dAtE” and “tiME” are menu items which allow the current date and time to be entered into
the meter. Please see Section 11, “Menu Mode Programming Keystrokes.” After these items
have been entered, the meter uses its internal clock to maintain date and time.
