Note: Local time is commonly displayed in both 12 and 24 formats. The specifications for Standard,
UTC, and GPS call for using the 24-hour format. Applying the 12-hour format to any time type
leads to ambiguous time notation. For example, if the 12-hour format is applied to UTC, the clock
will display “249:10:21:34” once in the morning, and once at night.
The factory settings for F2 are 24-hour format for the display and 24-hour format for IRIG (F90)
