Time of day and Date
Remark:
time of day and the date do not need to be adjusted. They are taken automatically from
the GPS-Receiver. However, any time zone difference from UTC (World Time) needs to be
entered with a positive value if the time zone is located East of Greenwich, or a with a negative
value, if it is at the West of it. Time zones with 0.5h UTC offset are also adjustable.
This setting is entered with

Timezone.
Important:
all internal calculations of the instrument are made in UTC (Coordinated Universal
Time). The local time is just used as
„Time“ display and calculates simply the UTC plus or minus
the UTC offset.
For the time of take-off the local time is binding.
2.4.1 Flight duration

The unit will also recognise autonomously the end of the flight.
It is the basic condition for the end of
the flight that neither speed over ground has been measured with more than 10 km/h during min. 60s,
nor that the Vario has pointed to more than 0.1 m/s.

Temperature
The IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS is provided with a temperature sensor for the temperature
compensation of pressure sensors, as well as for the automatic display contrast control.
Temperature reading is possible in degree Centrigrade or Fahrenheit.

Remark:
the temperature sensor measures the internal circuit board
temperature, but in no way the outside air temperature! The inside temperature of the casing may
be higher or lower than the ambient air temperature, especially when the instrument is exposed to
direct sunlight.
The Temperature is displayed on Page 1.
