24-hour (military), local 12-hour (AM/PM), or UT (Universal Time or

If the receiver does not have a computed position fix the receiver
displays a warning to alert you that an initial time has not been
set in INITIALIZE. After inputting an initial time you may change
the format that time is displayed in.
Setting Velocity Averaging
As you are travelling with your receiver on you may notice fluctuations
in the velocity displayed. Like elevation, velocity is very susceptible to
Selective Availability. Velocity Averaging will minimize this effect by
displaying an averaged speed measurement. You have three options to
choose from: OFF (no averaging) would be used where you require
rapid updates of velocity: 20 SECONDS would be selected where rapid
updates of velocity are not essential, generally at fairly low velocities; or
60 SECONDS where immediate velocity information is relatively
unimportant, such as a long journey at a constant speed. The default is
OFF.
