Daylight Savings Time (DST) Information

The Aastra IP Phones incorporate the federally mandated DST observance change. This change became affective starting in 2007.

The US has made a change to its daylight savings time observance starting in 2007. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandates that DST will now begin at 2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March and revert to Standard time on the first Sunday in November.

Note: In previous years, the DST began on the first Sunday of April and ended on the first Sunday of October.

The changes to daylight savings time applies to the U.S. and Canada, but may impact other countries outside North America.
