Have just bought an Elonex ebook colour 705EB and been trying to reset date and time as they are wrong... done as said on Manual go into Settings choose Time and Date setting... change the date and time and press select on Yes go back to main menu and time and date are what they were before I changed them....any advice??

Hope you read this message. I just noticed your message today on this site.
I bought an Elonex 705EB for my mum and had the same problem. It's not pressing the select key that changes the time. You must correct the time then press Menu button on yes (I had to press twice in row before it worked). I don't know why it works different from the manual. I found this out through a lot of trial and error!

I suspect that your time zone is set incorrectly and you've got it set to automatically synchronize with internet time server.

In the Date & Time Properties window you should also have tabs for Time Zone & Internet Time.

If you change to your Time Zone and have the automatically synchronize with internet time server active then it should correct the time itself.
