# POS date or time is wrong

## POS date or time is wrong

Use this when the POS shows the wrong date or time.

This also applies when you correct the time, but it changes back later.

{% hint style="info" %}
Change the date and time in **Config Client** first. If it reverts, a network time source is likely overriding the POS setting.
{% endhint %}

<summary>Keywords</summary>

**Also called:** wrong time on POS, incorrect register date, POS clock wrong, register time wrong, time not updating

**Keywords:** change POS time, update POS date, Config Client time, POS time keeps reverting, wrong date on register, wrong time on register, network time override, NTP time source

</details>

### Symptoms

You may see one or more of these:

* The POS shows the wrong date.
* The POS shows the wrong time.
* The time is corrected, then changes back.
* The clock is wrong after a daylight saving change.

### Before you start

* Confirm the store’s correct date, time, and time zone.
* Make sure you can sign in to **Config Client**.
* If the time already changed back once, expect a network time issue.

### How to fix the issue

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Config Client

Sign in to **Config Client** from the back office or the POS.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Update the date and time

Set the correct **date** and **time**.

Save the changes.

If the time stays correct, stop here.

Continue to Step 3 if the time reverts back to wrong time.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Check for a network time override

If the time reverts, the network time source is likely overriding the POS setting.

Contact the network team or network Helpdesk to correct the time on their end.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

***

If the time is still wrong after these steps, contact the **Verifone Helpdesk**.

```
GET https://commanderhelp.verifone.com/pos-help/pos-help/pos-date-or-time-is-wrong.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
