The console is pre-programmed with a combination of US time zones and the

configure your time zone using the Universal Time Coordinate (UTC) offset.
Screen 7: Time Zone
Note: UTC offset measures the difference between the time in any time zone and a standard time, set
by convention as the time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. Hayward, California,
the home of Davis Instruments, observes Pacific Standard Time. The UTC offset for Pacific Stan-
dard 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 savings time is
observed, an hour is added to the offset time automatically. Use this function in correlation with
Screen 8, Daylight Savings Settings.

In most of North America (except Saskatchewan, Arizona, Hawaii, and the

Territory, and Queensland); and Europe use the AUTO Daylight Savings set-
ting. The console is pre-programmed to use the correct starting and stopping
dates for Daylight Savings Time in these areas, based on the time zone setting
in screen 7.
Weather stations located outside North America, Europe, and Australia or in
areas that do not observe daylight savings time should use the MANUAL
setting.
