System Menu

The System Menu includes global system settings such as the date, time, and password as well as
hardware-specific settings such as the front panel brightness, contrast, and screensaver controls.

Figure 1 - System menu

Time Zone

When Network Time Protocol (NTP) is enabled, the Time Zone control selects a specific time offset for your
location. Four specific U.S. time zones (with and without Daylight Savings Time) are included along with all
internationally-supported offsets from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Figure 1- Time zone screen

Time and Date

The current time and date can be set manually when NTP is not used. The left/right arrows change the field
while the up/down arrows change the value.

Figure 2 - Time and date screen

Note - Having an accurate clock is important when using PDM II's PD-Alert function which uses
date and time stamps to identify events and audio log files.
