ES700 Time Settings: Hour and Minute Follow

Avatar

Prior to setting the time on your ES700 time recorder, you will need to set the Time Zone. Changing the Time Zone will change the Time. Refer to our Time Zone article for those steps. This article applies to the displayed time, not the printed time. To adjust the print out, please see our Print Style article.

Note: Previous versions of this model included a feature for automatic synchronization using the atomic signal, facilitated by an attached antenna. Mentions of these features are indicated with a red asterisk (*).

When you are setting a digit or an option on the display, flashing means that it is ready to be changed. You must press SELECT until you reach the desired digit or option. Then press SET to lock the desired value in place. Printing is always disabled while settings are being changed. Once the final SET has been completed in any given operation, printing is enabled. Remember to press SET until the unit returns to normal operation mode. To exit program mode anytime, press SET until the unit returns to normal operation mode.

*If your clock displays the Atomic Clock Signal indicator, The Atomic Signal icon - a single dot with three concentric arcs surrounding it., it is receiving the atomic clock signal. In this case, it is not necessary to set the time manually, as your settings will be overridden by the atomic clock signals.*

 

To set the displayed hour and minutes on the ES700:

  1. Unlock the unit and remove the cover. Refer to our Getting Started article for how to Open the Unit.
  2. Be sure you have set the Time Zone correctly. If you later go back and change your Time Zone setting, this will also change the Time on the clock.
  3. Press SELECT until the arrow A triangle icon. points to TIME.
  4. The Hour will flash to indicate that it can be changed.

    A graphic of the time clock display showing the arrow icon pointing toward time, the first 2 digits are labeled as Second, the next digit is surrounded by lines indicating blinking and is labeled as Hour, the final set of digits is labeled as minute.

  5. Push CHANGE until the display indicates the desired hour.
  6. Press SET to accept the hour setting. The flashing will change from Hour to Minute.
