Reference
‘Time’ Tab
Time Format Allows you to choose from a 12 or 24 hour time format. When you select the 12 hour
time format, the clock will read like a standard clock with 12 hour AM and PM cycles. The 24 hour
option sets the clock to display a 24 hour cycle (military time).
Time Zone Can be set to either one of the U.S. time zones, or to any other time zone (by selecting
‘Other’ and entering a specifi c UTC time offset). Refer to the instructions for setting UTC Time Offset
on page 59.
Daylight Savings Can be turned On, Off, or set to Automatic.
Time, Date, Sunrise and Sunset
Determined by the satellite information being received; cannot be
changed.
‘Safety’ Tab
The StreetPilot III is equipped with a ‘Safe Mode’ feature to improve driver safety. By default, this
feature is enabled, but can be turned off to allow a passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle
is moving, ‘Safe Mode’ disables the StreetPilot III functions which require signifi cant operator attention
and may become a distraction while driving.
Disabled functions include:
• Map Panning
• All FIND key functions (except Recent List)
• All MENU key functions
• Creating new routes
When you come to a complete stop, these features are automatically re-enabled.
Remember that current date and time are determined by
the satellites and cannot be changed.
The ‘Safe Mode’ can be turned off to allow a passenger to
operate the unit.
