Setting the Real-time Clock
The real-time clock in your computer keeps track of the time and date
at all times-even when the computer is turned off. Use the Real-time
clock option to set the time and date for your computer the first time
you run the Setup program. You may need to use it again later to
adjust the time for daylight saving time. The Equity 386 automatically
changes the date for leap years.
Follow these steps to set the real-time clock:
1.
Highlight the
Real-time clock
option and press
Enter. You
see the current setting for the time and date:
17:1@54
Time
@j-21-1988

2.
To change the time, highlight

Enter.

Using a 24-hour time period, enter the time in the exact format
shown in the box. Use two digits for each part (you can omit the
seconds, if desired); the Setup program automatically inserts the
colons (:). For example, to change the time to 1:30 p.m., you
would type the following:
