About Persistent Memory and Time of Day Retention:

Persistent Memory is not used for Time of Day. Time of Day needs to be

Time-Clock (RTC) board keeps track of Time-of-Day while the unit is off.
Time-of-day retention, and time-of-day retention alone, is controlled by the
RTC Board. This board should be installed on any system that uses a control
panel that displays time-of-day. The RTC Board must be removed from any
system that does not have a panel installed that supports time-of-day.
