Menu language
By factory default, the language used for menu control
is english, i.e. all menu items initially appear with their
english names. German, French, Spanish, Italian,
Jap anese, Russian and Traditional or Simplified Chinese
can all be selected as alternative menu languages.
Setting the function
1. In the main menu (see p. 102/119), select
Language (4.1.25), and
2. the desired language in the corresponding
sub­menu.
• Apart from a few exceptions (button names,
short designations), all linguistic information
changes.
DATe AND TIMe
The date and time are each set using separate menu
items.
DATe
There are 3 variations available for the sequence of
the date.
Setting
1. In the main menu (see p. 102/119), select Date
(4.1.22), and
2. call up the sub­menu. It consists of the 2 items,
Setting
and
Sequence
.
3. Select Setting .
• A further sub-menu appears, containing groups
of figures for the year, month and day, in which
the currently active group, i.e. the one that can
be set, is identified by a black background and
red border.
4. The figures are set using the setting dial (1.29) or
the up and down direction buttons (1.30), while the
left and right direction buttons are used to switch
between the groups of figures.
Notes:
• Using the setting dial is normally not only more
convenient but also significantly faster.
• You can return to the main menu at any time by
pressing the
MENU
button (1.28) – without applying
any of the changes made in the sub­menus.
5. After setting all 3 values, confirm and save by
pressing the SET button (1.21).
• The list of menu items appears again.
6. To change the way in which the figures are dis-
played, select
Sequence
in the sub­menu.
• The three available sequences
Day/Month/Year,
Month/Day/Year , and Year/Month/Day appear.
7. The preferred option is set and confirmed as
de scribed in points 3 and 4.
Note:
Even when no battery is inserted or it is flat, the date
and time settings are retained by a built­in backup
battery for around 3 months (see also “Charge level
displays”, p. 108). However, after that time the date
and time must be set again as described above.
