Setting clock on Helix 5 Hummingbird GPS on pontoon

#1 Post by lovemydog5 » Thu Jul 21, 2016 9:26 am

We have a Helix 5 Hummingbird GPS on our pontoon with the wrong time on it. It doesn't say in the manual how to change the time. Does anyone know how?

I have the Helix 7. The GPS signal set my clock automatically. Not sure on the Helix 5. I think it would be automatic when the GPS signal is good...

Are the minutes correct and hours off? I think I recall a setting to allow selecting time zone. Although one would think the GPS signal would select time zone. My clock does not work till I am out of the slip and get a satellite signal.

We do when we have people on the boat that have to go in to go to work and we don't bring our phones.

Some say knowing the time can save their 'marriage.' As in, time to head home. . . :biggrin2
