Submenu 1.1: Setting RTC Time manually
If this menu is entered, clock (RTC) stops running and
the tubes show the preset time (stored in the RTC). If
the clock is set up to AM/PM mode, nevertheless the
display shows the time in 24-h mode. Also if a DCF or
a GPS receiver is connected, and the clock is set to
GPS or DCF mode the time can be set manually but
will be synchronized later again to the DCF/GPS
signal.
Using button 2 and 3 the chosen digit can be set. To
switch to the next position, button 1 must be pressed.
To confirm this step shifting from digit to digit, the
following digit scrolls through by using the flip over
effect. After the last digit, the first digit shall be enabled
again.
