SET THE DATE
The date and time are important parts of your daily CMS statistics and must
be represented correctly on your PC screen. When you have set up your PC
and copied the MS-DOS program onto the hard disk, the system prompts
you to check the date and the time to be displayed on the screen. If either is
not correct, follow the procedures below. (When in CMS, you can check the
time and date by looking at the right-hand corner of any CMS Menu screen).
NOTE: The date must be changed at the beginning of each year, and
the time must be adjusted for daylight savings time.
To check or change the date on your PC, do as follows:
1 When the C> prompt appears, type
date
and press [ ↵ ] .
The following message appears on your screen:
Current date is Wed 4-07-1987
Enter new date: (mm-dd-yy)
2 If the date is correct, press [ ↵ ] .
If the date is incorrect, type in the correct date (for example, 4-08-1987)
and press
[ ↵ ] .
