Follow these steps to set the real-time clock:

1. At the main menu, highlight Real-time clock. If the

time and date have been previously set, the current settings

appear:

Time

0 9 : 1 6 : 5 2

Date

03-29-1992

If the time and date are correct, you can skip the rest of this

section.

If the time and date are incorrect, go to step 2 below.

If the time and date have never been set, the submenu

contains a template for you to fill in:

Time

x x : x x : x x

Date

xx-xx-xxxx

2. Press

to move the cursor block into the submenu.

3. To set or change the time, press

again. You see this

template:

hh:mm:ss

(“hh” stands for hours, “mm” stands for minutes, and “ss”

stands for seconds.)

4. Using a 24-hour clock, enter the time in the exact format

shown in the box. Type two digits for each part; the Setup

program automatically inserts the colons (:). For example,

to set the time to 1:30 p.m., you would type the following:

1 3 3 0 0 0

2-18
