Hello Mo,
I have managed to do it by a system of trial and error!
I have established that when you go into date and time setting, the hour
is selected by default. Pressing the right key takes you to minute and
then you can press up or down the number of time required.
From the hour, pressing left once goes to year, left again to day of
month, and left again to month.
Pressing function key 1 when in the home menu speaks time and date so
you can check it is right.
Speech recognition is a dead loss I think.
I have found the text manual and will add my findings to my copy. My
opinion of it has changed from "it's going out the window in a minute"
to "yep, it's usable".
