How to Set the Time and Date
You can set the time and date from the Set Time & Date screen. Pressing the Time and
Date bar located at the bottom of each Symphony/Symphony-i screen displays the Set Time
& Date screen.
•
Since Sync With Network Clock is selected on the Set Time & Date screen,
whenever Symphony/Symphony-i checks in with the server (every 15 seconds if
broadband, If dial-up is selected it is whenever Symphony/Symphony-i calls in) it will
get the current Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). If the Symphony/Symphony-i time
differs from GMT by 10 seconds or more, the Symphony/Symphony-i time will be
reset. Additionally, Symphony/Symphony-i will send the time to the control panel
every hour. This 1-hour timer starts on Symphony/Symphony-i power-up.
•
If Adjust for DST (Daylight Savings Time) is selected, Symphony/Symphony-i will
adjust for Daylight Savings time. When selected, the next time the 1-hour timer
expires, the new value will be sent to the control panel.
IMPORTANT: This means that the Symphony/Symphony-i setting will override and
overwrite the control panel time setting. That is, if the control panel is set to DST and
adjusts but Symphony/Symphony-i is not, upon the 1-hour timer expiration, the control
panel will be updated to the current time that is not adjusted for DST.
From the Set Time & Date screen, adjust either or both the time and date by pressing the
increase or decrease arrow buttons as necessary until the proper month, day, year, hour, and
minute are displayed.
