Screen 7: Time Zone
Note: UTC offset measures the difference between the time in any time zone and a stan-
dard time, set by convention as the time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich,
England. Hayward, California, the home of Davis Instruments, observes Pacific Stan-
dard Time. The UTC offset for Pacific Standard Time is -8:00, or eight hours behind
Universal Time (UTC). When it’s 7:00 pm (1900 hours) UTC, it’s 19 - 8 = 1100 hours,
or 11:00 am in Hayward in winter. When daylight saving time is observed, an hour is
added to the offset time automatically. Use this function in correlation with Screen 8,
Daylight Saving Settings.
