Why is the time on my device off by one hour, one day, etc.?

StarDot recommends the use of a timeserver in most situations. This assures that your StarDot device regulary synchronizes with a precise external timeserver. Some popular timeservers include:

• pool.ntp.org
• time-a-nist.gov
• time-b-nist.gov
• utcnist.colorado.edu

For a more complete list of timeservers, see tf.nist.gov/service/time-servers.html
