ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods are provided for setting a clock in an appliance. The method includes the steps of initiating a telephone connection with a remote site, downloading over the telephone connection a first sequence of commands for setting the clock in the appliance, and storing the first sequence of commands in a memory in the remote controller. The method further includes the steps of entering a single command into the remote controller to set the clock in the appliance to be equal to a second clock in the remote controller, processing the single command in the remote controller to insert a time read from the second clock in the remote controller into the first sequence of commands for setting the clock in the appliance to form a sequence of time commands, and transmitting the sequence of time commands from the remote controller to set the first clock in the appliance. Another method is provided for initializing settings in an appliance. The method includes the steps of initiating a telephone connection with a remote site, downloading over the telephone connection a first sequence of commands for initializing settings in the appliance, and storing the first sequence of commands in a memory in the remote controller. The method further comprises the steps of entering a single command into the remote controller to initialize settings in the appliance, processing the single command in the remote controller to transmit the first sequence of commands from the remote controller to initialize settings in the appliance.
