Setting the Time and Date

	The date and time are important parts of your daily CMS statistics and must
	be represented correctly on your PC screen. When you have set up your PC
	and copied the MS-DOS program onto the hard disk, the system prompts
	you to check the date and the time to be displayed on the screen. If either is
	not correct, follow the procedures below. (When in CMS, you can check the
	time and date by looking at the right-hand corner of any CMS Menu screen).
	NOTE: The date must be changed at the beginning of each year, and
	the time must be adjusted for daylight savings time.
SET THE DATE	To check or change the date on your PC, do as follows:
	1 When the C> prompt appears, type
	date
	and press [ ↵ ] .
	The following message appears on your screen:
	Current date is Wed 4-07-1987
	Enter new date: (mm-dd-yy)
	2 If the date is correct, press [ ↵ ] .
	If the date is incorrect, type in the correct date (for example, 4-08-1987)
	and press [ ↵ ] .
