Why does the AutoFlex Connect Date and Time menu not allow me to select the proper year?

The Date drop-down is limited to 25 years ahead and behind the current year. If you need to set the year further ahead than 25 years beyond the current year, you will need to save an intermediate year, and then enter the menu again and select the correct year and save it.
