Setting the System Time and Date

The system includes a clock/calendar function, which maintains accurate time and date even
when the system is turned off and disconnected from power. The system uses the clock/
calendar function to display the time and date on the imaging display, and to provide a time
stamp on patient studies and acquired images. The system automatically adjusts the date for
leap years but does not automatically set the time zone or update for daylight saving time.

The system time and date cannot be set when a study is active. It is recommended that you
