<Notes>

After the date has been set in step 4, the internal clock starts marking the time as soon as the switch position has been changed even when the TCG switch is set to F-RUN or R-RUN.

To cancel the setting in the course of setting the date, time or time zone, set the TCG switch to F-RUN or R-RUN while holding down the SHIFT button.

The clock is accurate to a monthly error of approximately +/- 30 seconds in the power OFF status. If a more accurate time reading is required, check the time and set it again when the power is turned on.

When the AJ-GPS900G GPS unit is installed and the time can be received, the internal clock’s time (local date/time) is kept accurate on the basis of the received time (world standard time) and time zone. If the date or time display has deviated from the local time, the time zone setting may be off. Check the time zone setting again. (There is no need to set the date and time again.)
