Chapter 3 Configuring GPS with the PQ3198 (Verifying the GPS Status)
3.2 Setting the Time Zone
The time zone should be set as the time difference from Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC*). If using the device in Japan, this parameter should be set to [+09:00].

Configure the time zone setting when the GPS mark is yellow or blue. The
setting will not be applied if configured while the GPS mark is red. When
changing the time zone, the PQ3198's internal time will be reset once the
GPS mark (p.14) turns blue (indicating that time correction is active). (It
will take several seconds for the time to be reset.)
Start recording after verifying that the GPS mark has turned blue, and that
the PQ3198's time has been set properly.
*Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
The official time used worldwide. Although UTC is almost identical to Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT), which is based on astronomical observations, UTC is determined by mea-
suring 1 SI second using an atomic clock. Regular adjustments ensure that GMT and
UTC differ by no more than 1 second.
