Time Offset
All VHF, DSC and GPS activities use a 24-hour clock and Universal Coordinated Time
(UTC) which was formerly known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT.) Time Offset uses
your connected GPS to gather time inputs. For time inputs to be converted to local
time, you need to enter the hour offset of your local time zone from Greenwich.
(See the world city time zone chart on page 24.)

1. Enter the Settings menu and scroll to

5. Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll to
EXIT
.
6. Press the Call/Set button to return to the Settings menu.
NOTE
If you leave the time offset at zero, the LCD will show
the time as UTC. If you enter the hour offset for your
time zone, the LCD will show the local time. In either
event, DSC messages will always be based on UTC.
