to be entered. Press the ◄ or ► key, move the cursor to the third line “UTC -300 Minute(s)” to set the
time zone information (add or subtract 60 minutes per time zone). For example:
Boston is “UTC -300 minutes”
Los Angeles is “UTC -480 minutes”
Rome is “UTC +60 minutes”
Beijing is “UTC +480 minutes”
Sydney is “UTC +600 minutes”
All the time zones in North America are “UTC –“, as shown in the following table, so ensure the
display shows “UTC -” instead of “UTC +” if in North or South America.
Time Zone Hawaii Alaska Pacific Mountain Central Eastern
Hour behind UT -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5
Enter UTC -600 -540 -480 -420 -360 -300
To adjust minutes, move the cursor to each digit and use the number keys to input the number
directly. Use or key to toggle between + and -”. When the time one information entered is
correct, press ENTER and go back to the previous screen. Note that fractional time zones can be
entered.
