6.6.6 Setting the Device Date
To set the system date, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Device Date field.
2. Enter the date in a MM/DD/YY format.
3. Press ENTER to set the system calender to the date in the input field.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of
the screen and press ENTER.
If the date entered is a valid format, the Event Message Line at the top of
the screen displays “SAVED OK”. If the entry is not valid, Local
Management does not alter the current value, but it does refresh the
Device Date field with the previous value.
6.6.7 Setting the Device Time
To set the device clock, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Device Time field.
2. Enter the time in a 24-hour format, HH:MM:SS.
3. Press ENTER to set the system clock to the time in the input field.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of
the screen and press ENTER.
NOTE
It is not necessary to add separators between month, day, and
year numbers, as long as each entry uses two numeric
characters. For example, to set the date to 03/17/96, type
“031796” in the Device Date field.
NOTE
When entering the time in the system time field, separators
between hours, minutes, and seconds do not need to be added
as long as each entry uses two numeric characters. For
example, to set the time to 6:45 A.M., type “064500” in the
Device Time field.
