Note

If you are unsure what the time difference is for your area, get a position fix using the UTC format. Display the
Location page and note the displayed time. Compare UTC to your local time and note the difference. Key in the
difference as hours and minutes to the nearest half hour, using a negative value if you are in the western hemisphere
(for example, the difference in New York is -5 hours, or -4 hours on Daylight Savings Time).
