Set the Date and Time
The real-time clock (date and time) within the Sentinel V is backed up by a super-capacitor
that maintains the correct time while system power is removed. The clock will continue to
maintain the date and time during power outages of 16 to 24 hours. If power is removed for
a longer period of time, then the clock will revert to the default value of January 1, 1970 and
will need to be reset to the correct time.
