appears. (Error code
<Setup=F2>
starts.)
9 Press to save the configuration and exit from Setup.

If the Date and Time Are Incorrect

The date and time can be incorrect because the time has changed for
the seasons, or because the PC has been unplugged from the power too
long, and the Gold Capacitor which supplies power to the CMOS
memory has discharged. To recharge the Gold Capacitor, plug the PC
into the power for one hour (there is no need to start the PC).
You can install an external battery that will keep track of the date and
time if the PC is unplugged for more than one week (the external
battery connector is shown on page 118). Contact your HP dealer for
complete information about installing an external battery.
Use the Setup program to change the date and time.
