ADJUSTING TIME AND DATE

Pressing GPS STATUS
in Main Menu followed by
UTC & DATE accesses
this Screen. The UTC &
DATE key will only be
available until the GPS
has acquired the correct
time from a satellite.
Pressing Key 3, ADJUST
UTC, places a cursor
over the first digit of the
Hours value on the time
display. The value can
then be increased or
decreased by moving the
joystick up or down.
Pushing the joystick to the right then moves the cursor to the next digit.
Similarly, the cursor can be moved back along the data entry field by
moving the joystick left. When the time is adjusted, the information will
only be saved if you press Key 1 SET.

Pressing Key 4 puts a cursor onto the Date entry field. The date is
adjusted in the same way as time. With the cursor over the Month when
the joystick is moved up or down, the first three characters of each
month are scrolled together i.e. JAN, FEB, MAR, APR etc. Adjusting the
year works in the same way. Your KMD 150 unit is fully Year 2000 com-
pliant. Only after pressing Key 1 SET is the new date saved. The Time
and Date will be automatically corrected as soon as the first satellite
reaches TA (time available) status. If any satellite is already at status TA
or above, user inputs of time and date will be ignored.

SETTING LOCAL
TIME OFFSET

Pressing GPS STATUS
in Main Menu, followed
by LOCAL OFFSET,
accesses this Screen.
When this Screen initially
appears a cursor will be
active in the data entry
field. The hour's value
can be adjusted between
the limits of +12 and -12
by using the joystick.
