Configuring Home City Settings

There are two Home City settings: actually selecting the Home City and selecting either standard time or daylight saving time (DST).

The Auto DST (AUTO) setting will be available only when a city code that supports time calibration

signal reception (page E-14) is selected as the Home City. While Auto DST is selected the DST

setting will be changed automatically in accordance with time calibration signal data.

Note that you cannot switch between standard time and daylight saving time (DST) while UTC is

selected as your Home City.
