Re: AS36 - setting date

["Larry \"DrFranken\" Bolhuis" <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect the battery internal to the thing has long passed it's 'use 
by' date.  As a consequence the time keeps defaulting.

But what did they expect when that thing is older than my son who is a 
degreed Chemist with a job in his field already!!

Now if I recall correctly the battery is replacable but I've re-used the 
synapse which hold the battery type or the procedure to set the clock!

As to that default date, see Rob's answer.
