2.7 Setting Time and Date
Once you set the internal clock for the correct day and time it will continue to keep them, even when the scale is
off, using the internal battery on the main board. The procedure below can also be used to adjust the time when
moving from Standard to Daylight Savings Time or when the scale is moved to a new facility in a different time
zone.
Note: SPEC 05 - DATE ORDER and SPEC 06 - TIME FORMAT allow you to set the format for date and time that you prefer the
scale to display. The defaults are Month/Date/Year for date and 12 hour for time. To change these specifications, see
Section 3.0 on page 14.
1. Press the MODE key twice until the display shows ITEM CODE PROGRAMMING. The S annunciator,
indicating the Programming Mode, will illuminate.
2. Press the + (plus) or – (minus) keys to scroll through the programming options until you see the
PROGRAM DATE screen. Enter the current date using the numeric keypad. For months or days from 1 to 9,
enter a leading zero. (Ex. In a MM-DD-YY format, May 8, 2003 would be entered as 050803.) Press the
REPRINT * key to store the data in temporary memory and move to the time programming mode.
3. Enter the current time using the numeric keypad. For numbers from 1 to 9, enter a leading zero. (Ex. In a
12 hour format, 3:06 pm would be entered as 0306.) If SPEC 06 - TIME FORMAT is set to a 12 hour
format, you use the
<< and >> keys to toggle between AM and PM.
4. Press the CODE key to save the data or press the PIECES key followed by the CLEAR key to exit without
saving the data.
5. To return to the Stand-by Screen in the Operation Mode, press the MODE key three times.
