12. Setting Local Time

The local time function allows the time in a different
time zone to be set separately from the current time.
Local time is set by performing a time difference

Note: If the hour hand passes 12:00 AM (midnight)

If the time difference is corrected in the
counter-clockwise direction and the hour hand
passes back over 12:00 AM, although the
date is corrected following completion of hand
movement, since the date is corrected by 30
days in the clockwise direction, it takes about
2-3 minutes for the date to be corrected. Pay
attention to AM and PM when correcting time
difference.
Note: When returning the time difference to the
original setting, return the hour hand in the
direction opposite that when the time
difference was corrected.
