Purpose:

To assure that weather observations from your station have the same time and date as others around the world.

Go to the Setup menu and select "Enter Barometer Offset, other offsets, and Rainfall".

On this page, you can tick if you want weather display to synchronize your PC clock via the internet (you need to have the FTP program set up for this; i.e the ISP selected or the cable modem option selected). The time sync occurs very 6 hours, at 30 minutes past the hour.

Alternatively you can use the clock offset , which is added/subtracted every hour if your PC clock looses/gains time (weather display does not use the time from the weather station).
