NOTE: Turn off the G5 to set clock and alarm functions. Setting clock
and alarm features require that you work fast between steps. If you
don’t, the set mode will automatically exit. If this occurs, start over.
Carefully read through the procedure first.

The G5’s clock is a 24-hour format clock. For example, midnight is
00:00 hours; 6 am is 06:00 hours; 1 pm is 13:00 hours and 11 pm is
23:00 hours. Before setting the clock, select and activate your home
time zone, then set the clock.
