Set Local Time
The time will be updated automatically when the GPS receiver has established its link with the GPS satellites. You also can manually input the time information in case GPS does not function. Use the ◄ or ► key to move the cursor _ and use the number keys to change the numbers. Use the ▲ or ▼ button to toggle between “Y” and “N” for Daylight Saving Time. Hold the arrow key to fast forward or rewind the cursor.
In order to make the Hand Controller reflect your correct local time, time zone information has to be entered. Press the ◄ or ► key, move the cursor to the third line “300 Min. behind UT” to set the time zone information (add or subtract 60 minutes per time zone). Enter minutes “ahead of” or “behind” UT (universal time). For Example,
∙Boston is 300 minutes “behind” UT
∙Los Angeles is 480 minutes “behind” UT
∙Rome is 60 minutes “ahead of” UT
∙Beijing is 480 minutes “ahead of” UT
∙Sydney is 600 minutes “ahead of” UT
All the time zones in North America are behind UT, as shown in the following table. So make sure it shows “behind” instead of “ahead of” UT.
