Adjust Acuity System time
If your facility had an internet server available at the time of Acuity System installation,
Welch Allyn encouraged you to synchronize the Acuity System clock to a network time
protocol (NTP) server.
Welch Allyn recommends that you synchronize the Acuity System to an NTP server after
Acuity System installation, in these circumstances:
• If an internet connection is lost
• If internet service becomes available
If your facility does not have an available internet server, manually adjust Acuity System
time. Make adjustments periodically, according to your facility’s policy, to maintain time
accuracy.
You can adjust time forward or backwards, up to 20 minutes. Adjustments are made
gradually to all Acuity Systems on a network and all patient monitors connected to the
network.
To adjust Acuity System time
1. In the lower left corner of the Acuity screen, click .
2. Type your system administrator password.
The Administration window appears.
3. Click Adjust Time.
The Adjust Time window appears.
If the window informs you that your server is synchronized to an NTP server, close
the window. You do not need to manually adjust system time.
4. Click the up or down arrow button until you see the desired time.
5. Click Confirm.
The system time adjustment is made gradually.
6. Click Close.
