timekeeping is required, check the time when the power is
turned on and, if necessary, reset the clock.
When the GPS unit AJ-GPS900G is installed, and if it
successfully receives time information, the internal clock
keeps accurate (local) time based on the received time
(Greenwich Mean Time) and the time zone. If the date and
time differ from the actual local time, the time zone may not be
set correctly. Check again, to see if the time zone is set
correctly. (The date and time need not be set again.)
