And regarding the time of 14:15 UTC v it being 09:15 locally; that has to do with the global timezone setting. UTC is referring to 
Greenwich Mean Time, sometimes also referred to as Zulu time. To change your device to reflect the local time use the 
commands "clock timezone EDT -5". But depending on where you live, you may have to account for Daylight Savings Time. You could use 
the command "clock summer-time 'timezone'". 

Most of us tend to like using the GMT (UTC) timezone because its a global reference that never changes. Therefore you don't have to 
worry about accounting for the dates that your local timezone "springs forward" or "falls back". 

HTH,
