Setting the Date and Time Zone
Note: The first time the MX7 Tecton is powered up, or the device powers up from a reset/cold boot, the time may be reset to the
factory default value.
Set the current date, time, time zone and assign a daylight savings location using control panels. Or double-tap the Date icon in
the taskbar to begin.
There is very little functional change from standard desktop PC Date/Time Properties options. Adjust the settings and tap the
OK button or the Apply button to save changes to the registry. Any changes take effect immediately.
Setting Speaker Volume
The speaker is located on the front of the device, between MX7 and Tecton.
Speaker volume can be adjusted to a comfortable level for the listener by using key presses or by changing settings in a control
panel. Speaker sounds can be disabled.
Using the Keypad
Note: Speaker sounds must be enabled before the following key sequences can adjust the volume.
The volume is increased or decreased one step each time the volume key sequence is pressed.
To adjust speaker volume:
• Tap the Orange key then the Scan key to enter volume change mode.
• Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys. A beep is emitted at each arrow key press. When the volume reaches maximum
level, two extra beeps are emitted.
• Press any key, except the keys you used to adjust the volume, to exit.
Volume control using a keypad key press has six volume settings that match those supported by the control panel. Volume
does not “roll-over” from minimum to maximum or from maximum to minimum. Continuously holding down the up or down
arrow keys does not cause an automatic repeat of the up (or down) arrow key.
Using a Control Panel
Sounds for Events and Programs are enabled by default. Notifications are disabled by default. See Sounds & Notifications
