Setting the Real-time Clock

The real-time clock in your computer continously tracks the time and date-even when the computer is turned off. The first time you run Setup, use the Real-timeclock option to set the time and date for your computer. You may need to use this option again later to adjust your system for daylight savings time. The computer automatically changes the date for leap years.

Note

Follow these steps to set the real-time clock:

1. At the main menu, highlight Real-time clock. If the time and date have been previously set, the current settings appear:

T i m e 0 9 : 1 6 : 5 2

D a t e 0 8 - 2 9 - 1 9 9 0

If the time and date are correct, you can skip the rest of this section.

If the time and date are incorrect, go to step 2 below.

If the time and date have never been set, the submenu contains a template for you to fill in:

T i m e x x : x x : x x

Date xx-xx-xxxx

Go to step 2.
