SETTING THE REAL-TIME CLOCK
The clock and time can be set up from the Time program in the Prefs drawer of the
Amiga’s Workbench. The instructions used to set up the battery backed-up clock
facility are those available from Workbench. It is a simple procedure but, if you have
difficulties, refer to Chapter 5 of Commodore’s Workbench 3.0 User’s Guide.

To set the clock and calendar, open the Prefs drawer, which will either be
found on your hard drive or the Extras floppy disk, and select the Time
program.

Each parameter (year, month, date, and time) is selected using the mouse
point and click operations. First, click the Month cycle gadget at the top
right hand side of the window until the correct month appears.

default year and enter the correct year.

Time Prefs screen. Click on the correct date until it is highlighted.
