Your Time & Date Titler displays the Date, Day of the Week, Time and a 2 line X 20 character Camera Title. If desired, the user can display the Time & Date with no Camera Title or just the Camera Title with no Time & Date. In either case, the on-board battery will hold the programmed information for up to 90 days with power disconnected. For ease of programming, the TDCT has four push buttons and utilizes on-screen displays. The characters can be positioned anywhere on the screen and their color can be set from black to white.

To Exit the Program Mode:

Press and release the 'RESET' button at any time and you will exit the programming mode. You must complete the programming for each line of the selections before pressing the 'RESET' button. If the 'RESET' is pressed prior to completing that line, the selections you just changed will not be updated in the system memory.

Example: If you just want to change the month and nothing else. As above, enter the program mode and select the desired month. Press and release the 'SET' button until the flashing selection goes to the hours selection on the second line. You have now completed the programming for the first line of selections.

Depress and release the 'UP' button to increment the display one position in the vertical down direction. Holding down the 'UP' button will cause the display to move at approximately two positions per second in the vertical down direction.
