Setting the Time and Date
NTP Time Server
NOTE: The backup battery for the internal clock
The IC-R8600 has a rechargeable Lithium battery to
backup the internal clock. If you connect the receiver to
a power source, the battery is charged and it keeps the
correct clock setting. However, if you do not connect the
receiver to a power source for a long period of time, the
battery will discharge. In that case, the receiver resets the
internal clock.
If you do not use the receiver for a long period, we
recommend that you connect the receiver to a power
source at least once a month. The charging period is two
days whether the receiver’s power is ON or OFF.
Manually set date and time without accessing the time
management server.
