To select a time format:
1. Highlight the ‘Time Format’ field and press ENTER
to display the available options.

time references. ‘Local 12hr’ will show current time
using a traditional AM/PM format. Or,

(also referred to as ‘Greenwich’ or ‘zulu’ time).
Local Time Zone is used to define the current local
time. UTC date and time are calculated directly from the
satellites’ signals and cannot be edited. If you prefer to
use local time, you may designate an offset, either ‘Behind
UTC’ or ‘Ahead of UTC’. The offset is the difference, in
hours and minutes, between local time and UTC time.
To enter the local time zone:
1. Highlight the ‘Local Time Zone’ field and press
ENTER.

minutes) using the ARROW keypad and press
ENTER.

the right) and press ENTER.

ate and press ENTER.
Date and Time displays the current date and time
based on the settings made above and information
provided by the satellites received.
System Settings— Backlight lets you keep the
screen/keypad backlighting on continuously (‘always on’)
when selected, or enables the automatic shutoff to
preserve battery life. Automatic shutoff times from 15
seconds to 4 minutes, since last key press, are available.
To set the backlight timeout:
1. Highlight the ‘Backlight’ field and press ENTER.
Enter an offset amount
to adjust the time
display to your local
area. In the United
States, all offset amounts
will be ‘Behind UTC’.
If you’re unsure of the
exact offset select a
‘Local’ time format,
then enter offset values
until you arrive at the
correct local time.
