SETUP parameters for your system.
Setting
the Date and Time
The real-time clock in your computer continously tracks the
date and time-even when the computer is turned off. Once
you set the date and time using SETUP, you should not need
to change either parameter, except to adjust the time for
daylight savings, if necessary. (The computer automatically
changes the date for leap years.)
The current month is highlighted and a calendar on the right
side of the screen shows all the days for the month. The
current day is flashing. Press
Page Up
or
Page Down
to select
the correct month, day, and year.
To change the time, move the cursor to the next line and
press
Page Up
or
Page Down
to enter the correct hour and
minutes according to a 24-hour clock. For example, 5 p.m.
would be hour 17. You cannot set the number of seconds.
