That's the correct menus. To change from fullscreen paroli you must
first edit /etc/paroli/paroli.cfg and set settings to True. You can then
get the settings menu up by holding the AUX button. In the settings menu
you can change the profile.

Is this with or without a network connection. The timezone should get
synced from your GSM provider and the time comes from either GPS or the
network.
