Set Up Screen Fields
Clock
The computer contains a battery-operated clock that keeps track of the time and date. This category allows
the current time and date to be set and modified.
Time
This field specifies the current time. Time is set either in a 12-hour or a 24-hour clock format depending on
the country setting. To advance the time, press the Spacebar or use the + key. To set the time back use the -
key. For the 12-hour clock format, press the Spacebar to change between
Am
and PM. This also resets the
seconds to 00.
Date
This field specifies the current date. The date is set either in the month-day-year or the day-month-year order
depending on the country setting. The day of the week (MON, TUE, WED, etc.) is set automatically as the
date is entered.
Display
This category sets the shape of the screen cursor and vertically expands the display on the LCD in certain
modes.
Cursor Type
The shape of the cursor can be changed to one of the following settings: Underline, Underbar, or Block.
LCD Mode
The standard LCD screen has a resolution of 640 dots horizontally by 480 dots vertically. In MDA, CGA
and EGA display modes, however, the screen does not normally use all of the 480-dot vertical display area.
Specifying expanded mode for these display modes expands the screen display vertically to use the full
screen. Possible settings are Standard or Expanded.
