Setting the Date and Time

The real-time clock in your computer continuously tracks the

date and time-even when the computer is turned off. Once

you set the date and time using SETUP, you should not need to

change them, unless you need to adjust the time for daylight

savings or other seasonal adjustments. (The computer

automatically changes the date for leap years.)

To change the date and/or the time, follow these steps:

Press

mm/dd/yyyy

09/15/1993

If you need to change the date, type two digits for the current

month (mm), such as 09. The cursor moves to the day (dd)

field.

Type a two-digit number for the current day (such as 06 or

15). The cursor moves to the year (yyyy) field.
