Press ENTER. A time and site information screen will be displayed:
Set Local Time
The time will be updated automatically when the GPS receiver has established its link with the
GPS satellites. In the event that the GPS module is unable to establish a link to the satellites, local time
can be entered manually. Use the ◄ or ► key to move the cursor _ and use the number keys to
change the numbers. Use the ▲ or ▼ button to toggle between “Y” and “N” for Daylight Saving Time,
or “+” and “-“ for UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) setting. Hold the arrow key to fast forward or
rewind the cursor.
In order to make the Hand Controller reflect your correct local time, time zone information has
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.
Do not manually add or subtract an hour from displayed time to reflect Daylight Saving Time
(DST). Only select “Y” after DST begins.
For other parts of the world you can find your “time zone” information from internet.
