<Notes>
≥After the date has been set in step 4, the internal clock
starts marking the time as soon as the switch position has
been changed even when the TCG switch is set to F-RUN
or R-RUN.
To cancel the setting in the course of setting the date, time
or time zone, set the TCG switch to F-RUN or R-RUN while
holding down the SHIFT button.
≥The clock is accurate to a monthly error of approximately
+/– 30 seconds in the power OFF status. If a more
accurate time reading is required, check the time and set it
again when the power is turned on.
If the date or time display has deviated from the local time,
the time zone setting may be off. Check the time zone
setting again. (There is no need to set the date and time
again.)
