When the generator mode is in time date mode, the entered generator time is the UTC time not the
Local time. Follow the procedure outlined in section 3.4.2 to enter the time.
3.4.7. Setting the Generator User Bits in Time Date Mode
When the generator mode is in time date mode, a special four-step process is used to enter the user
bits. The date entered is the UTC date not the Local date. First you will enter the year, then the month,
then the day, then a time zone offset.
Press the DISPLAY key one or more times to display the generator user bits if they are not already
displayed. The display prompt will show GUB when user bits are displayed. The ENTER and CLEAR
keys are used in conjunction with the numeric keys to set the generator user bits, in date format.

If you want to re-enter this day, press ENTER, otherwise press the numeric keys to enter a valid day.
When you have entered the correct two digit code for the day, press the ENTER key to proceed to time
zone entry. The time zone is used to adjust the UTC internal clock to allow the generator to output
local time. It is also encoded into the user bits to allow reading devices to compensate for various time
zones. Time zones are entered as an hour and minute offset, but are actually encoded in the user bits
as a 2-digit code according to the table 1 in Appendix A.
The leftmost digits of the display will indicate
shown as
+/-HH:MM
offset for time zones where there are partial hours. The +/- sign indicates if the time is ahead or behind
UTC. If you want to re-enter this time zone offset, press ENTER. To change the whole hour offset

then you should enter the time zone offset for standard time. You can set up the daylight savings time
adjustment using the procedure outlined in section 3.7.8.
When you have selected the correct time zone offset, press the ENTER key to complete the data entry
process. The numeric keys return to their normal functions when the data entry has been completed by
pressing the ENTER key or canceled by pressing the CLEAR key. The display prompt will return to
GUB when data entry mode has been completed.
