There are seven parameters that can be set for the simulator: “Current Time”, “Current Date”, “Track

Time” and “Current Date” settings.
There are two methods that you can use when entering alpha-numeric data, one is the
ARROW KEYPAD and the other is the DATA ENTRY keys. We will use the ARROW KEYPAD for set-
ting the Current Time and Current Date. See page 7 for instructions using the DATA ENTRY keys.

entering the current time.
3. Using the Up/Down function of the ARROW KEYPAD , scroll through the list until the correct number is
displayed. Press the ARROW KEYPAD to the right to highlight the next digit.
4. Continue this process until the correct “Current Time” is displayed then press the ENTER/MARK key to
accept the new time.
Current Date:
1. Using the ARROW KEYPAD , highlight the “Current Date” field and press the ENTER/MARK key.

the months. Select the current month then move to the next digit.
