Setting The Time - Magellan NAV 5000 User Manual

Setting the Time

The unit can be operated on Universal Time (UT, formerly Greenwich
Mean Time) or local time.
The GPS satellites operate on UT, and the unit collects the current
time (in UT) from the satellites as part of the Almanac. lt is therefore
unnecessary to set time if you want to use UT. You must remember,
however, that UT displays the time and date that is current at the Pri-
me Meridian.
If you prefer to use a local clock, you must enter the local date and
time here.
Press the RIGHT ARROW
to go to the Automatic
mode. Remember that if
you use this mode, some
fixes may be made in 2D.
Therefore, be sure you
have entered an altitude.
From the mode/altitude
display, press the DOWN
ARROW. The screen
displays the current date
and time on the UT clock.
