2. Connect the M70 to the power supply.

3. A dialog for setting of date and time is displayed.

4. If time and date are of importance of the application, set date and time, and

click OK. See section

11.1 Date and Time Handling in the M70

.

5. Wait for the dialog to disappear (regardless if date and time were set or not).

6. The system program will start in approximately 40 seconds, and the appli-

cation is ready to use.

11.1 Date and Time Handling in the M70

Date and time are not stored in the M70, since the real time clock has no battery
backup. If date and time are of importance in the application, for example to log
data or for trends, they have to be set every time the M70 is turned on.

If date and time are not set at start-up, M70 will start with default values.

To set the clock during runtime, a maneuverable clock object can be included in
the panel project.
