Conguring the Time Offset
If you prefer to have your unit display the time in local time rather than Universal
Coordinated Time (UTC), you need to indicate the local time offset from UTC time. When
you make an adjustment for local time, “LOC” is displayed after the time instead of “UTC”
on the Home screen.

To congure the UTC offset:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Select SYSTEM > UNITS > TIME > OFFSET.

the offset to a maximum of +/- 13 hours.
