Section: 10.5.3.9 Time Zone and Time
Content: The purpose of the timezone part of this information element is to encode the offset between universal time and local time in steps of 15 minutes. The purpose of the time part of this information element is to encode the universal time at which this information element may have been sent by the network. The Time Zone and Time information element is coded as shown in figure 10.5.84/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ]  and table 10.5.97/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ] . The Time Zone and Time is a type 3 information element with a length of 8 octets.

This may result in incorrect time settings in the mobile.
