vorrei sapere come cambiare l' ora che segna sul display

The VDO DLKPro does not allow users to change the UTC time stored in the digital tachograph, as all times are saved in UTC. However, to view data or navigate the DLKPro device, you can change the dialogue language in the Settings menu. There is no function on the DLKPro to change the time displayed, as it reflects the UTC time recorded by the tachograph. For local time changes on the tachograph, adjustments must be made on the tachograph itself, not on the DLKPro.
