Epson EQUITY II+ User Manual

If your system has a real-time clock, it automatically keeps track of the

time and date. This kind of clock is backed up by a battery so it keeps
running even while the computer is turned off.

The MS-DOS TIME and DATE commands, as well 

as 

many software

packages, 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 example, you may need to change the clock to accommo-
date seasonal adjustments, such as daylight saving time. Your computer

automatically adjusts for leap years. Note that even though MS-DOS and

your applications 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   to move the cursor block to 

Real-time

clock 

and press 

The time and date appear like this:

 

Date

2. To set the time, move the cursor 

to Time 

and press 

see:

Enter the time in the exact form shown in the box, using two digits for

each part; the program automatically inserts the colons (:).

When the time is correct, press 

If you enter an invalid time, the

computer beeps, and the time does not change.
