The dual time will stay the same, even though the time in the main time mode is adjusted. For example, if you set the dual time to show your home time, your home time will always be displayed in the sub mode even if you travel to a different time zone and adjust the time in the main time mode. The dual time function is completely independent from the current time and does not effect the alarms or the memory functions.
