RTC menu
This menu sets the Real Time Clock. The RTC runs from its own battery and X-tal oscillator
and contains all calendar data such as days in the month, leap year etc. It is an independent
on board clock with its own battery and crystal.
Please note:
The RTC does not run from the tuned internal reference and is not as
accurate. It is used only to retrieve the actual time of day and the date when
starting the time code generator.
Press 8, Edit: The RTC parameters can be changed or corrected manually.
Press 0, Lock: Locks out keypad. Release with shift + lock.
