Yes Turbo: Hook it up to 12v and wait for the specified number of hours which, in your case, is around 160+ days  Rosie
PS: Will be in your area enroute to the Bahamas on Memorial Day weekend... see you then!

It was interesting (to me anyway) that the Dynon Hobbs Meter can be set to what ever you want.

Why was this interesting? There are several use cases where this makes perfect sense. |

adjustable Hobbs
There is also a use case where it is entirely inappropriate. Like being able to set the odometer back on your car.

Technically shouldn't the log books contain a trend of information and hours accumulated...?
