It's that time of year again; At the end of October, Daylight Savings Time Goes Away & You'll need to Reset your Computers and LC LCR Meters.
HOW TO Set/Reset The Time on an LCR2 Register
(This is helpful during springing forward and falling back for Daylight Savings Time)
First, we must ask the following questions to help you better assess what equipment application you have.
1- Do you have an LCR2 register head?
2- Does it operate in "Pump and Print" mode? (LCR2 only, no other
accessories)
3- Do you have a lap-pad?
4- Do you use our EZCOUNT handheld unit?
5- Do you use our DMS system?
6- If you use DMS, do you also have a GPS unit with it?
Once you know what you have, proceed to the corresponding section below.
LCR2 - PUMP & PRINT
1- Turn the red selector knob to Print.
2- Press the Select arrow 4 times. do you see the current time on-screen? If you do, proceed to step 3. If not, you should see a screen that says "P00000". Press the Select arrow to move the cursor past all the numbers, at which point you will see the time.
3- Enter the current time (remember that LCR2 uses 24-hour time), by using the Select and Increase buttons.
4- After the time is entered, you can either use the Select arrow to move all the way to the end of the time and back to the first screen, or simply turn the selector back to Stop.
