Using the Console
Note: UTC (Universal Time Coordinate) offset measures the difference between the time in any timezone
and a standard time, set by convention as the time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
For example, Hayward, California, the home of Davis Instruments, observes Pacific Standard Time.
The UTC offset for Pacific Standard Time is -8:00, or eight hours behind Universal Time. When it's
7:00 pm (1900 hours) UT, it's 19 - 8 = 1100 hours, or 11:00 am in Hayward.
Press and release the DONE key to move to Setup screen 8.
