Magellan Explorist GC Time and Date?

[+GeoPaisan's]

I just bought the Magellan Explorist GC to replace my Garmin, When I turned it on its dates was 2009 and the time was like 2am. I tried going through the time zones and clicking the daylight times on but it wouldnt change the time or date to the correct time. I tried some google links, can I get any help here?
