  • Press the - key to decrease the date one day for each press. For example 09/03/16 will be come 09/01/16 with two taps of the - key.

  • To change the date to a different day in the same month and year, type the day number. For example, to change 09/05/16 to 09/16/16 type 16.

  • To change the month and day in the same year, type the month number and a two-digit day. For example, to change 09/05/16 to 8/3/16, type 803

  • To change to a different day, month and year, type the date without slashes. For example, to change 09/05/16 to 6/23/15 type 62315.
