Configuring Whether the Time is Displayed on the Home Screen You can configure whether the time is displayed on the Home screen.

Configuring the Time Offset If you prefer to have your unit display the time in local time rather than Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), you need to indicate the local time offset from UTC time. When you make an adjustment for local time, "LOC" is displayed after the time instead of "UTC" on the Home screen. NOTE: The time sent when you make a DSC call is always sent in UTC format. To configure the UTC offset: 1. Press the MENU key. 2. Select SYSTEM > UNITS > TIME > OFFSET. 3. Turn the Channel knob to enter an offset number in increments of 0.5 hours. You can set the offset to a maximum of +/- 13 hours. 32 VHF 300 Series Owner's Manual
