When turned off at night, incorrect date and time will be displayed when powered on twelve hours later.
Are you powering it off by the power button on the unit? is the power button a rocker switch or a simple button? also are you powering it off by a power strip? Most electronic devices have a clock circuit that is powered from a battery when the unit is off. usually with modern electronics the power never completely goes off so the clock will stay functioning with less battery. Basically you either have a simple internal battery issue or a failing logic board. Try not using a power strip to power the unit off or take it in to be serviced by a qualified technician that has access to the parts needed.
When you turn your machine on for the first time, the display

The clock on my machine is displaying a date and time from over a year ago...I require two terminals to complete my work and therefore have a toggle switch connected to both computers and fax machine.
Could anyone tell me how to reset the clock or could the toggle switch be the problem?
Thanks in advance!
