30<H2>Description</H2>
31<P>Initializes the real-time clock API. Call this function before calling any real-time clock functions.</P>
32
33<h2>Note</h2>
34<P>
35The real-time clock stores data using a battery and continues to measure time even if the console's power is not turned on. <FONT color=red>This stored data is not initialized by the initialization functions. Note, therefore, the initial date and time values are not defined. </FONT>Although the console startup sequence zero-clears all alarm-related settings, these settings will carry over for any application restarts caused by a software reset.
36</P>
37<P>
38The end user can freely adjust the real-time clock's date and time using the console's System Settings. <FONT color=red>As a result, note that the date and time are not guaranteed to be consistent before and after the console is restarted.</FONT>
