SETTING THE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

Automatic DST correction (recommended)

By default, the daylight saving time is already set to start on the first Sunday of April and to end on the last Sunday of October. However, if you once disabled this function and want to set it again or change starting and/or ending date, please change dates as follows.

Once you reset the unit, setting of daylight saving time will return to the default value.

Example: Start date Sunday, April 2, 2006.

End date Sunday, October 29, 2006.

If you set as the above, the time clock remembers the start date as the first Sunday of April and the end date as the last Sunday of October. Once set, the time clock automatically updates the settings every year thereafter. No further manual setting is necessary.

DST correction via WWVB radio

If you want to disable automatic daylight saving time function and adjust time just by received radio wave (WWVB), please see the following page for "DELETING THE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME SETTING" and cancel the setting.

Disable DST correction

If you are located in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time, you may disable automatic correction, and bypass correction from the WWVB radio, by setting the STARTING DATE and ENDING DATE to the same date.

Example: Start date Sunday April 2, 2006

End date Sunday April 2, 2006

SETTING THE STARTING DATE OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

Example: Daylight saving time starts on Sunday, April 2, 2006.
