Symphony/Symphony-i Setup (Cont'd)

How to Set the Time and Date

You can set the time and date from the

Set Time & Date

screen. This screen can

be accessed by pressing the Time and Date bar located at the bottom of each

Symphony/Symphony-i screen.

•

Since

Sync With Network Clock

is always selected on the

Set Time & Date

screen, whenever Symphony/Symphony-i checks in with the server (every 10

seconds) it will get the current GMT time. If the Symphony/Symphony-i time

differs from GMT by 10 seconds or more, the Symphony/Symphony-i time will be

reset. Additionally, Symphony/Symphony-i will send time to the control panel

every hour. This 1-hour timer starts on Symphony/Symphony-i power-up.

•

Daylight Savings Time is processed internal to the Symphony/Symphony-i, since

Symphony/Symphony-i gets GMT from the server. When Symphony/Symphony-i

adjusts for DST, the next time the 1-hour timer expires, the new value should be

sent to the control panel.

IMPORTANT:

This means that the Symphony/Symphony-i setting will override

and overwrite the control panel time setting. That is, if the control panel is set for

DST and adjusts but Symphony/Symphony-i is not, upon the 1-hour timer

expiration, the control panel will be updated to the current Symphony/Symphony-i

time that is not adjusted for DST.

Refer to the Time Zones Settings chart (on the following page) to select the

corresponding

Time Zone

for the location of the Symphony/Symphony-i by pressing

the “increase” or “decrease” arrow buttons.

Adjust either or both the time and date by pressing the “increase” or “decrease”

arrow buttons as necessary until the proper month, day, year, hour, and minute are

displayed.
