How to change the date/time of my generator? – Mobile Link

If the Generator controller's clock does not match the Mobile Link servers, it can cause communication issues. Here are step by step instructions to verify and update the date and time settings on your generator.

Please have a mobile phone or other device that can tell you the current time in your area.

Access the generator control panel by opening the top lid, push the off button once.
Press the ESCAPE key to access the top level menu
Press the UP button until SUB MENUS is flashing
Press ENTER to access the sub menus
Press the UP button until EDIT begins flashing
Press ENTER
Press the UP button until Current Date/Time appears
Press ENTER

The time is displayed in a 24 hour clock format as opposed to a 12 hour format. The generators cannot tell the difference between A.M./P.M. For instance, 1:00 PM would be 1300. 5:30 PM would be 1730.	1:00 AM = 0100 12:00 PM = 1200 1:00 PM = 1300 2:00 PM = 1400 10:00 PM = 2200
