Press “1” on the keypad.
4.
Enter the UTC offset (see Table 4.3-1) on the keypad. This is a number between – 12.0 and 12.0. The
negative, if needed, must be entered before the number or the number will be erased and have to be re-
entered.
NOTE: One decimal place is available for time zones that have an offset of more than a multiple of an
hour. For example, Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) is 3.5 hours behind UTC so the offset value
“–3.5” would be entered.
5.

date and time to be set.
6.
Use the up and down arrow buttons to move the cursor horizontally to the desired component of the

The Set Local Time screen also displays the
date the time was last set and by whom, either
the user (USER), the GPS (GPS), or the PC
software (USB). If the display reads DFLT,
then either the time has never been set or the
time was lost if the battery was fully drained of
power and recharged. The time is maintained
as long as the battery is charged.
