Setting Time from GPS

Wednesday, December 28, 2011 3:40:00 PM Categories: ID-31A/E

Since the radio has a GPS, the internal clock may be set from an extremely accurate time source.

To enable the clock setting from the GPS:

First, make sure that the GPS is turned on

  • Next MENU - Time Set - GPS Time Correct - Auto

and don't forget to change your UTC Offset

  • Next MENU - Time Set - UTC Offset - Hours from UTC

Since the radio only knows the UTC offset, you will have to change the UTC Offset when / if Daylight Saving Time changes effect.

Now of course everyone should know their UTC offset, but for those of you who may be having temporary amnesia:
