Update System Clock with CDMA
time during start-up

All PCs have an internal clock called the system
clock. Depending on your configuration, the time
according to this clock is usually displayed:

(Notebook/Handheld PCs) in the status area,
in the lower right corner of your screen

(Pocket PCs) On the Today page, in the top
right corner of your screen

Generally you would use the Windows Control Panel
(notebook PCs) or the Settings screen (Handheld/
Pocket PCs) to change the time on the system clock.
This field gives you the option of setting the time of
your system clock automatically from the CDMA
network each time you connect. This might be
useful to you if you frequently change time zones.

Use the check box to enable and disable this feature.
(It is enabled when checked.)
