Trip Timer

expired’ message. The timer will then begin to count up, displaying the time since it
expired. The timer runs, if not altered, whenever the GNC 300XL is turned on.

The GNC 300XL clock function keeps track of both UTC time (Greenwich Mean

Time or Zulu Time calculated from the satellites) and local time, allowing you to
designate which format to use for all time displays. The local time and date can be set
