same way.
3 Select ( ) [OK] and press to start the clock and close the
setup screen.
NOTES

rechargeable lithium battery may discharge completely and the date

battery ( 166) and set the time zone, date and time again.

screen. In subsequent screen displays the date and time will appear as
month-day-year (for example, [Jan. 1, 2010 12:00 AM]). You can
change the date format and the clock format (12/24 hours) with the
[Date Format] setting.
