Changing Time on e-range Reader

When the time on a e-range V8 reader is incorrect, problems with PIN type dispenses will occur. If the time on the reader is behind the time on the PIN-generating computer, the PIN will not be valid until the reader time has advanced beyond the time the PIN was generated. If the time on the reader is ahead of the current time, PINs will expire early.

The procedure to set the reader time can be summarized in six easy to follow steps:

1. There is a menu key on the back of the reader near the top, which is labeled menu.
2. Open the dispenser to get to the back of the reader and press the menu key.
3. Now use either the number 2 key or the number 8 key on the front of the reader to scroll through your options until you see the date and time displayed.
4. Next hit the '#' key to edit the time and date.
5. To change the hour of the reader use the number 2 key or the number 8 key to scroll through your options again until you see the Hr which signifies the hour.
6. Use the number 4 key to decrement the hour and the number 6 key to increment the hour to the correct time.
7. After the time has been set correctly press the * key until you see 'exit' then press the '#' key.

To change the day, year or minute of reader, the procedure is essentially the same but in step 5 you would choose the appropriate option in place of Hr.
