Symptoms include time being reset to UTC midnight Aug 22, 1999. Every 9 seconds, an internal counter is reset and the clock resets to UTC midnight Aug 22, 1999. Mike Stickney of Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology indicates that his GTS-One failed at exactly the same time with the same symptoms.</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px">
