Setting the real-time clock

Your computer automatically keeps track of the time and date using a real-time clock. Because the clock is backed up by a separate battery, it keeps track of the time and date even while the computer is turned off.

The MS-DOS TIME and DATE commands, as well as many application programs, display the time and date held in the clock, but they cannot make permanent changes to the time and date settings.

Use the Real-time clock option if you need to change the time and date permanently-for daylight saving time, for example. Your computer automatically adjusts for leap years. Note that even though MS-DOS and your application programs may use a different format, the real-time clock uses a 24-hour time format to store the time.

To set the real-time clock, follow these steps:

1.On the main menu, press 1 to move the cursor block to Real-time clock and press Enter. You see the time and date displayed like this:

17:45:55 Time

12 - 31 - 1987 Date

2.To set the time, press Enter (while the cursor block is on Time). You see the following:

hh:mm:ss
