5.5.1 Setting the clock
The date and time of the hardware clock is initially set in Eastern 
Standard Time. After your PC is connected to the hardware, 
check the clock and set it as necessary for the time zone and 
region of your installation.
To adjust the clock settings manually, click the Set Clock button 
in the clock panel. The Clock Settings window opens, allowing 
you to make adjustments to the date and time. Click Apply or OK 
to set the clock in the hardware, or click Cancel to close the win-
dow and leave the clock settings unchanged.
5.5.2 Adding events
When you click the On/OffVolumeSource, or Auto Volume 
event button, an event of that type is added to the event list. At 
this point you can change the event settings. When the event list 
exceeds the length of the pane, the software will add a scroll bar 
on the right side.
A maximum of 64 events may be added to a system. This means 
that the total number of events from all event lists must not 
exceed 64. An On-Off event consumes two events, while source 
change, volume change, and Auto Volume events consume one 
apiece. A counter is provided in the Schedule mode window to 
keep track of the number of remaining events.
Zone events programmed to occur at the same time as a “Sys-
tem ON” event will not occur. To ensure that zone events will hap-
pen, they must be programmed to occur 15 minutes after the 
“System ON” event. For example, if a “System ON” event is pro-
grammed to occur at 8:00 AM, the first zone event should be pro-
grammed to occur at 8:15 AM.
Installer’s Note: Flashing the FreeSpace 4400 Installer soft-
ware configuration file to the FreeSpace 4400 system sets the 
default state of the system when it is turned on. Whenever 
possible the default state of the system should be set to meet 
the requirements most likely to occur after a scheduled “Sys-
tem ON” event.
 
Adds a system Auto On/Off event
This event applies only to the whole system. You can select indi-
vidual on or off times for the day(s) you choose. Or, you can 
select on and off times in a single statement.
Programmer’s Note: One Auto On/Off event specifies 
both an “On” time and an “Off” time and is counted as two 
events.
 
Adds a zone Mute event
This event allows you to mute/unmute the zone output at a 
 
specified time on selected days of the week.
Adds a zone Volume Change event
This event allows you to change the volume level at a specified 
time on selected days of the week.
Programmer’s Note: The maximum/minimum volume 
stops cannot be adjusted in this pane. To adjust these limit 
stops, select the Output Gain function in the Set Up Hard-
ware mode.
