begins counting down 5-4-3-2-1, then the year flashes, followed by the month/date
and then the time. By default, the unit sets itself to Eastern Standard Time. If
Daylight Saving Time is in effect slide the DST switch on the back panel to the “+1”
position to move the display ahead by one hour.If you live in a different time zone
refer to the Time Zone Adjustment procedure on page 4. You only need to adjust the
Time Zone once and your new zone setting becomes the new default.
