7 button on board computer:

1.Hold down the HR/DAT button for 3 seconds. The time will begin flashing.

2. Now use the h/DAT and min/DAT buttons to adjust the minutes and hours on the display.

3. You can also press the °C/°F button at this time to change between 24-hour display, and 12 hour (AM/PM) display. (this is an undocumented feature.)

4. Press SET to save the time.

5. Now you can input the date using the same h/DAT and min/DAT buttons. Press SET again, then you can input the year, and finally press SET one last time.

For an 11/18 button OBC hold down TIME for 2 seconds, use the 1, 10, 100, and 1000 buttons to adjust the clock, then hold down TIME again to save your settings..

Thanks for posting this info. I've been trying to figure out how to switch back to AM/PM from military time. Very helpful!

I've been trying to fix the 12 hour for days now, thanks!

THANK YOU; that military time display was driving me nuts! No one (not even mechanics!) knew how to fix...so, again, many thanks.
