Date/Time and Timer Options
The date and time are calculated from satellites and
cannot be edited. Because the time shown is UTC (GMT

play the correct local time for your area.

2. Enter the time offset for your longitude and press
E

Remember to select a positive or negative indicator for
your offset. (You’ll have to move the field highlight to the
left of the offset to enter a positive or negative sign for
the offset. A negative sign is used for North America.)
3. Press
E
to confirm the offset.
The GPS 92’s timer function will count
down

an elapsed timer that will count
up
to 99:59:59.
To set the countdown timer:
1. Highlight the ‘Timer’ field and press
E
.
2. Select the ‘Down’ setting and press

running clock until it is manually reset.
