To choose between a 12-hour or
24-hour clock, first select either

Screen 2: Time Zone
The console is pre-programmed
with a combination of US time
zones and the names of major cities
representing time zones around the
world. You can also configure your
time zone using the Universal Time Coordinate (UTC, also known as
Greenwich Mean Time or GMT) offset.
Note: UTC offset measures the difference between the time in any time zone and a standard
time, set by convention as the time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
Hayward, California, the home of Davis Instruments, observes Pacific Standard Time.
The UTC offset for Pacific Standard Time is -8:00, or eight hours behind Universal Time
(UTC). When daylight saving time is observed, an hour is added to the offset time
automatically. Use this function in correlation with “Screen 3: Daylight Saving Settings” on
page 8.
