Exit Program Mode
Press the PROGRAM button and the display will show the current date.
The clock hands will reset to the current time.
Note: The TCX-11 uses a Lithium battery to maintain the user settings incase of
a power failure. If a power failure occurs and the Lithium battery is dead,
the time clock settings may revert to default settings (i.e., DST Begin and
End dates may change).
