I'm pretty sure it is in American date format, that caused me no end of strife!

From the Manual:
Quote:
If no SynScan GPS is connected, or the GPS is unable to retrieve information, the SynScan hand control will prompt for the user to enter the current latitudinal and longitudinal position using the numeric keypad. First enter the longitudinal coordinate, followed by the latitudinal coordinate. Use the scroll keys to choose between W or E, and N or S. Pressing the left or right directional keys will move the cursor to the previous or next number. Press ENTER to confirm. The format you enter should look like this: 123 04' W 49 09'N.
7. Enter your current time zone in hours (see Appendix C), using the scroll keys and numeric key pad (+ for East, - for West). Press ENTER to confirm. The format you enter should look like this if you are in Pacific Standard Time (PST): -08.
8. Enter the date in the following format mm/dd/yyyy using the numeric keypad. Press ENTER to confirm.
9. Enter your current local time using the 24 hr time mode (e.g. 2:00PM=14:00). Press ENTER to view the time you just entered. If it is incorrect, press ESC to go back to the previous screen. If correct, press ENTER again
to proceed to the daylight saving setting.
10. The SynScanTM will prompt “DAYLIGHT SAVING?”. Use the scroll keys to make the selection and press
ENTER to confirm.
