Screen 7: Time Zone

 

 

Note:

UTC offset measures the difference between the time in any time zone and a stan-

 

dard time, set by convention as the time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich,

 

England. Hayward, California, the home of Davis Instruments, observes Pacific Stan-

 

dard Time. The UTC offset for Pacific Standard Time is -8:00, or eight hours behind

 

Universal Time (UTC). When it’s 7:00 pm (1900 hours) UTC, it’s 19 - 8 = 1100 hours,

 

or 11:00 am in Hayward in winter. When daylight saving time is observed, an hour is

 

added to the offset time automatically. Use this function in correlation with Screen 8,

 

Daylight Saving Settings.

2.If your time zone is not shown, press 2ND then press the + and - keys to set your UTC offset.
