How to set the proper date/time on an HD1010



I'm trying to set the appropriate date/time for a playlist to run on an HD1010 device. Product Specifications say that only HD810 and HD2000 have "Real time clock". HD1010 has not. But the page http://www.brightsign.biz/products/compare.php says that HD1010 has a "Real Time Clock with SuperCap". But It seems that HD1010 has "Real time clock". If it doesn't, how does it work as schedule time? Very curious about this. any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm looking for a script that I can use to set the realtime clock on an HD1010? The User Guide mentions

    Setting the date/time on BrightSign (HD2000 only)
    BrightSign HD2000 has a real-time clock that you can use to schedule content playback. In order to use the scheduling features, you must first set the date and time on BrightSign.
    BrightSign has written a script that provides an interactive means for setting the date/time on
    BrightSign. The script is named SETDATETIME.BAS and is available at www.brightsign.biz/support in the software download section.
    Instructions for using the date/time script:
    1 Go to www.brightsign.biz/support and click the Software Downloads link.
    2 Under HD2000, click the SetDateTime Script link to download the SETDATETIME.ZIP file.
    3 Expand the SETDATETIME.ZIP file, which contains a script named SETDATETIME.BAS.
    4 Copy SETDATETIME.BAS into the root directory of a CF/SD card and rename it
    AUTORUN.BAS.
    5 Connect a USB keyboard or a GPIO button board to your BrightSign.
    6 Insert the CF/SD card into your BrightSign and apply power.
    7 Wait a few moments for the date/time screen to appear and enter the current date and time.
    Once you set the date/time on BrightSign, the real-time clock maintains accurate time even if you turn your BrightSign off and on.

    Does anyone know of this will work on an HD1010?

    HD1010s whose serial numbers Start with a letter, like A, have realtime clock. Ones that don't require a network connection to set the time, like the HD210.

    To set the date and time on HD1010, you can plug the unit into an internet connection, or you can do it manually using this playlist:

    Just Edit the Autoplay.bsp file in any text editor, and set your Timezone and Time

    You can use these files Just Edit the Autoplay.bsp file in any text editor, and set your Timezone and Time to setup date and time on every HD110-HD1010 player with real time clock. The following talks about HD110-HD1010 players which have mounted RTC:

    HD810 has a real time clock.

    The HD210w, HD1010, and HD1010w have networking and a real time clock.

    With the HD210, any of the newest units, manufactured since November 2010, have a real time clock. These units have a reset button next to the gpio12 button, and they also have the letter F as the 3rd digit in the serial number. Any earlier HD210s would require a network with a time server to set and maintain the time. This also applies to the HD110 and HD410.
