68 Ray54E VHF Radio
When manual time is used, it is always displayed as UTC time, even if you
have entered an offset. The NO GPS icon remains until valid GPS
information is available.
Note: If TIME DISPLY is set ON, COG/SOG is automatically set to OFF.
Because they occupy the same line on the LCD, only one of these two settings
can be displayed at a time.
Time Offset
The TIME OFFSET setting indicates the amount of time to add or subtract from
UTC time to equal your local time.
Note: The Time Offset setting is valid only when GPS data is available.
When manual time is used, it is always displayed as UTC time, even though
you have entered an offset.
Time Format
The TIME FORMAT setting indicates whether the time is displayed in 12 hour
or 24 hour format.
COG/SOG Display
This setting determines whether Course Over Ground and Speed Over
Ground (COG/SOG) data is displayed on the bottom line of the dot matrix
display instead of the time of day. The letter “T” is always appended to the
COG, indicating that this is a True (and not Magnetic) heading.
Note: If COG/SOG is set ON, TIME DISPLY is automatically set to OFF.
Because they occupy the same line on the LCD, only one of these two settings
can be displayed at a time.
