Setting the Date and Time

A blinking date and time in the LCD panel will indicate that there has been a power failure. If power is lost for more than an hour, the correct time will be lost.

When the PC is connected it can automatically detect this condition and reset the date and time for you.

The date and time can be set from the computer using the Compaq A1500 Settings Utility or from the A1500 control panel.
