SETTING AND VIEWING THE LOCAL TIME

Your receiver has two clocks. One dis- plays your local time and the other lets you display the time in any of 42 preset world cities or a world city you specify. Once you set your local time, the re- ceiver automatically calculates the cor- rect time in each of the preset world cities or a world city that you specify and lets you select and display that time.

The time zone map on the back of the receiver shows the difference in hours between UTC (Universal Time Coordi- nate — formerly called Greenwich Mean Time) and each time zone. To determine your local time from UTC, add or subtract the specified number from UTC time. During Daylight Saving Time, add one more hour.
