access the UTC Offset fi eld and make a change to match 
the time zone you selected. Other than that, you can’t 
change it. 
Daylight Savings Time
Daylight savings time can be set to ‘Automatic’ (using 
the built-in almanac to automatically change the clock 
settings when daylight savings goes into or out of effect). 
You can choose ‘Yes’ to manually add daylight savings or 
‘No’ to remain on standard time.
To change the Daylight Savings Field:
1.   Press the PAGE Button and switch to the ‘MENU’ 
Page. Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight 
‘SETUP’. Press ENTER. The ‘SETUP’ Page appears.

‘DAYLIGHT SAVINGS’ fi eld and press ENTER.
4.   Press the UP or DOWN Button, select ‘AUTO’, ‘YES’,

NOTE: Daylight Savings time settings will not 
affect the UTC offset number.
UTC stands for 
‘Coordinated Universal 
Time’ and replaced 
Greenwich Mean Time 
(GMT) as the World 
standard for time in 
1986. It is based on 
atomic measurements 
rather than the earth's 
rotation.
