The RTC lasts for 3 years while unplugged. Our RRTC dongles recharge when connected to a USB port. The Fortress RTC is programmed with the date and time when we receive it from our manufacturer. Our manufacturer uses tools to set up the dongle for programming by KEYLOK, including setting the RTC. Our API does not support changing the RTC’s value.
