INITIAL SETTING
Enter the longitude, latitude and time zone of
your observing site. Once the settings for your
location are entered and saved, you don’t need
to change them unless you travel more than 15
miles to a different obser ving location. The
longitude and latitude of your observing site can
be checked on a map or with a GPS device. The
initial location is set at Tokyo.
Choose
Location
with the keys
and press the Select key to enter.
To change the longitude and latitude settings
for your observing site, move the cursor with the
keys to the item where corrections
are needed. Then change the numbers with the
keys.
The time zones are based on longitude bands 15 degrees wide, starting at Greenwich, England. Set the time
difference in hours between your local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Its sign is plus if local time is
ahead of GMT (east of Greenwich) and minus if local time is behind GMT (west of Greenwich). For example,
the time zone for Los Angeles (on Pacific Standard Time) is -8 hours.
Please note that the entered time zone setting is not converted to Daylight Saving time automatically. When you
reset your clocks for Daylight time, add one hour to the value in the Time Zone setting, as well as in the Local
Time Setting. Adding to a negative value will lower the number. For example, when changing to Daylight time
in Los Angeles, change the setting from -8 to -7.
