This menu item allows the user to set a time zone offset between the UTC
time and the Local time. This time zone offset will be added to the UTC
time along with the Daylight Saving time correction (see section 4.6.4.5) to

increments and can be + or – from UTC. (Time zones east of Greenwich
are +, and time zones west of Greenwich are -)
To set the time zone press the SELECT button and the hours digits will
begin flashing to indicate that they are in entry mode. Use the Ï or Ð
buttons to change the hours to the desired value. To set negative time
zone offsets continue pressing the Ï or Ð buttons until the hours values
show a negative sign. Then press the SELECT button and the minutes
digits will begin flashing to indicate that they are in entry mode. Set the
minutes and seconds in the same way. When you have entered the
correct time press the SELECT button to the set the time zone offset. The
seconds digits will stop flashing to indicate that the time zone offset has
