C.iii Clock Setup - ID-AL ChronoPlayer User Manual

ID-AL ChronoPlayer - User Guide V1.0
Note: The setup of the time uses the following international writing convention: HH:MM:SS,
with HH the hours, MM the minutes, and SS the seconds, e.g. 15:30:52 for 3 hours in the
afternoon, 30 minutes and 52 seconds.

C.III Clock Setup

Various scenarios require that the clock of the player be adjusted:
On the first startup of the player:
•
When the player is switched on for the first time, it is required to immediately adjust the clock (time
zone, date, and time). This setup of the clock is quite the same as the one described in the section
Setup of the Player Clock Parameters.
When the built-in clock could no longer be maintained when powered off:
•
The built-in clock is battery-backed by the player during several weeks when powered off.
Nevertheless, when the battery is too discharged, the date and time of the clock are lost and have to
be adjusted again.
Note: The time zone setting is not affected by the built-in clock (RTC) and is retained even if the
battery runs flat. In this case, it is not necessary to set this parameter again.
This adjustment is quite the same as the one described in the section Setup of the Player Clock
Parameters.
After a firmware update:
•
The firmware update resets all the parameters of the player, time zone included. Therefore, following
a firmware update, the player prompts the user to set the time zone on each startup until the
operation has been performed. On the other hand, the date and time are not parameters, but values
that evolve according to the time. These values are therefore not affected by firmware updates. A
player having its date and time adjusted but not its time zone applies the UTC time by default.
When the parameters of the clock have to be modified:
•
If an already configured player is moved to another time zone, or in case of a clock adjustment, or in
case of a wrong adjustment of the date and time, the settings of the clock must be adjusted
accordingly. These operations are described in the section Setup of the Player Clock Parameters.
