There shouldn't be one. Try setting the year to 2003 instead of just
03.

When I run the setup of the machine, it ask for Date/Time and the Date is in
mm/dd/yy format. I have tried "03" or "2003" for the year, but it does not
accept.

Do you know how I can overcome this?

Hmm. That's really odd. I just used Setup to change the date on my
Omnigo, and it accepted "9/3/2003" (tomorrow's date) just fine. Then I
changed it back to "9/2/2003" and again no complaints.

What does it say when you type in a date of, say, "9/2/2003"?

Pretend it works.

Hi!

Have you tried setting the actual date with the year 1999 and then
later changing the year to 2003? (Unfortunately the batteries of my
OGO120 are empty, so I can't test anything.)

With my German OmniGo I never had a problem.
it run out of batteries several times since 2000 and it always accepted
the date.

Try a SHIFT- ON - NEXT
Then in SETUP enter everything the default way, like 01/15/95. Then change
to 01/15/2003 .Then in DATE FORMAT change to desired format. That should do
it.
I also use the DD/MM/YY format without any problems untill now. I have
everything important ( to me ) on a CF card however.
