Title: Date and time on 121GW
Post by: jknightandkarr on August 16, 2022, 06:25:57 pm

I might have missed it, tried to do a search, but didn't find anything, but I noticed that after setting the date and time on my new 121GW meter, when turned off, it resets back to original date/time.  Not really a huge issue, since I got it for hobby purposes, but in case I just missed something, can the date and time be kept, or does it need reset everytime? Thanks.

For someone who might be searching in the future, be aware that the 121GW does have a dedicated internal CR1220 battery for the clock.  Lots of good photos in HKJ's review: https://lygte-info.dk/review/DMMEEVBlog%20121GW%20UK.html

Thanks for the link. Lots of information.  On my issue, I wasn't holding the button long enough to save. lol
