Setting current Datetime on a GNS-530W

[kbehrent]

I have a brand new GNS-530W that I want to set the current datetime so it will not take forever for it to acquire GPS lock for the first time.

From the Date/Time setup page in configuration mode, I am unable to get a cursor in order to select the field in order to change it. I've made several other changes in the other configuration pages with no problems. Anybody have any ideas?

My last resort is to push the plane outside and hope it doesn't take hours for it to find itself, especially since the temperatures outside have been in the low teens!

Thanks

5 - 10 minutes tops to find the satelites. It was no big deal.

Finally had a good day to push the fuse out and flip the switch. Thankfully no smoke got out of the wires and the 530 locked on in just a few minutes.
Now it's time to paint the panel and put it all back together and call it done!
