Set System Time
Figure 21 shows the current time stored in the real- time clock chip of the HD-P2. A backup lithium bat- tery powers this clock. The screen shows the status of this battery.

Power Management
Figure 22 shows the power readings screen. This information screen shows the state of the HD-P2 power system. It reports on the current voltage lev- els of the three sources of power for the HD-P2. The FireWire Voltage level should be between 8 and 40 Volts, although some FireWire adaptors may not pro- vide power. The Battery Voltage should nominally be above 10 volts and the batteries should be replaced if below eight. The provided AC adaptor provides approximately 12 VDC.
The voltage readings for FireWire and battery will read higher when they are not being used to power the HD-P2. This is because there is no load on them. The HD-P2 automatically switches between AC and
