DATE DISPLAY

The correct month and date appear in the small display. The month and date are expressed numerically in the MM/DD format. For example, May 21st will be displayed as (5. 21). This display adjusts automatically for months of different lengths. For example, at midnight on February 28th (2. 28), the display will automatically change to March 1st (3. 1), unless it is a Leap Year, in which case the display will change to February 29th (2. 29).

YEAR DISPLAY

To see the correct year, depress the TIME and MONTH/DATE buttons together. The small display changes from ‘month/date’to ‘year’. When you release the TIME and MONTH/DATE buttons the small display returns to month and date.
