The optional fax card for the LaserWriter Select 360, uses a clock chip with a 3.6 volt lithium battery. If the fax card was shipped without setting the time and date, then it must be set before the clock starts keeping time. The LaserWriter Fax Utility allows you to set the date and time.
If the fax card contains a dead battery, then you could set the proper time and date, but the card would continually lose the time and date. If this happens, you need to replace the battery (service part number 742-0011*).
