Note: UTC offset measures the difference between the time in any time zone and a stan-
dard time, set by convention as the time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich,
England. Hayward, California, the home of Davis Instruments, observes Pacific Stan-
dard Time. The UTC offset for Pacific Standard Time is -8:00, or eight hours behind
Universal Time (UTC). When it’s 7:00 pm (1900 hours) UTC, it’s 19 - 8 = 1100 hours,
or 11:00 am in Hayward in winter. When daylight savings time is observed, an hour is
added to the offset time automatically. Use this function in correlation with Screen 8.

Screen 8: Daylight Savings Settings
In most of North America, including Mexico (excepting Saskatchewan,
most of Eastern Indiana, Arizona, and Hawaii), as well as in Australia
(excepting Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland) and in
Europe use the AUTO Daylight Savings setting. The console is pre-pro-
grammed to use the correct starting and stopping dates for Daylight Sav-
ings Time in these areas, based on the time zone setting in screen 7.
Weather stations located outside of North America, Europe, and Australia
or in areas that do not observe daylight savings time should use the MAN-
UAL setting.
