If you enter an invalid time-for example, a number greater than 23 for the hours or greater than 59 for the minutes or seconds-the computer keeps and ignores your entry. Try again. You can use the backspace key, if necessary, to correct mistakes.

When the time is correct, press Enter.

4.To set the date, highlight Date and press Enter. You see this box:

m m - d d - y y

S.Enter the date in the exact format shown in the box, using two digits for the month and day and four digits for the year; the program automatically inserts the dashes. For example, to set the date for August 30, 1989, you would type the following:

08301989

If you enter an invalid date-for example, a number greater than 12 for the month or greater than the number of days in that month-the computer keeps and ignores your entry. Try again.

When the date is correct, press Enter.

6.When both the time and date are correct, press once or twice to return to the main Setup menu.

The time and date are set automatically as soon as you press Enter after typing the time and date; you do not need to save these settings. Therefore, if you change either setting in the Setup program and then exit the program without saving your changes, the new time or date still takes effect.
