change the highlighted configuration parameter.

The rest of this chapter describes how to choose the correct

SETUP parameters for your system.

Setting the Date and Time

The real-time clock in your computer continously 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 either parameter, except to adjust the time for
daylight savings, if necessary. (The computer automatically

changes the date for leap years.)

The current month is highlighted and a calendar on the right

side of the screen shows all the days for the month. The
current day is flashing. Press

Page Up

or

Page Down

to select

the correct month, day, and year.

To change the time, move the cursor to the next line and

press

Page Up

or

Page Down

to enter the correct hour and

minutes according to a 24-hour clock. For example, 5 p.m.
would be hour 17. You cannot set the number of seconds.
