BendixKing SKYMAP IIIC - Manual (Page 50)

DETAILED OPERATION
Key 1 returns to Main Menu.
Date, Time, Local Time Offset and Present Position can be adjusted by selecting one of
Keys 2, 3 or 4. Direct access to the MAP Mode is available by pressing Key 5.
When using the Skymap IIIC for the first time (or after it has been relocated by more than
100 miles since it was last used) setting up the present position (to within 50 miles or so)
and ensuring that UTC and Date are correct (to within a few minutes) will considerably
speed up the TTFF (time to first fix). It is not absolutely necessary to do this, since given
time, the receiver is quite capable of working out its own position.

Pressing GPS STATUS in Main Menu followed by UTC & DATE accesses this Screen.
The UTC & DATE key will only be available if the GPS has not acquired the current date
and time from a satellite.
Pressing Key 3, ADJUST UTC, places a cursor over the first digit of the Hours value on
the time display. The value can then be increased or decreased by moving the joystick up
or down. Pushing the joystick to the right then moves the cursor to the next digit.
Similarly, moving the joystick to the left moves the cursor back along the data entry field.
