Menu languages
By factory default, the language used for menu control
is English, i.e. all menu items initially appear with their
English names. German, French, Spanish, Italian,
Japanese, and Traditional or Simplified Chinese can all
be selected as alternative menu languages.
Setting the function
1. In the main menu (see p. 97/110), select
Language
(4.1.23), and
2. the desired language in the sub-menu.
• Apart from a few exceptions (button names, short
designations), all linguistic information changes.
DATE AND TIME
The date and time are each set using separate menu
items.
DATE
There are 3 options available for the sequence of the
date.
Setting

Date
(4.1.20), and
2. call up the sub-menu. It contains the two items
Setting and Sequence.
3. Select
Setting.
• A further sub-menu appears, containing groups of
figures for the year, month and day, in which the
currently active group, i.e. the one that can be set,
is identified by a black background and red border.
4. The figures are set using the setting dial (1.29) or
the up and down direction buttons (1.30), while the
left and right direction buttons are used to switch
between the groups of figures.

pressing the

button (1.21).

6. To change the way in which the figures are displayed,
select

Month/Year, Month/Day/Year
, and Year/Month/
Day
.
7. The preferred option is set and confirmed as
described in points 3 and 4.
Note:
Even if no battery is inserted or the battery is flat, the
date and time settings are maintained for about 3
months by a built-in back-up battery (see also “Charge
level displays”, p. 102). However, after that time the
date and time must be set again as described above.
