5.To set or change the date, highlight Date and press Enter. YOU see this prompt:

-

(“mm” stands for month, “dd” stands for days, and “yyyy” stands for year.)

6.Enter the date in the exact format shown in the box. Use two digits for the month and day, and four digits for the year; the Setup program automatically inserts the hyphens. For example, to set the date for August 29, 1990, you would type the following:

08291990

You can use the backspace key to make corrections.

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 beeps and ignores your entry.

Try again.

When the date is correct, press Enter.

7.Check the new time and date to be sure they are correct. Then press T once or twice to return to the main Setup menu.

Note

The Setup program automatically saves the time and date when you press Enter after typing each one. If you change the time or date and then exit the Setup program without saving your changes, the new time and date still take effect.
