Psion Teklogix netBook, 32M/64M manual Setting summer time, When you travel

Setting summer time

If you are not interested in making use of world times, and are happy to use the Time & date command to change the time when clocks go forward or back, you can ignore this section.

However, if you travel or wish to be precise about world times, you should set your own time to ‘winter time’ (in the UK, this is GMT), and modify the ‘summer time’ setting when the clocks go forward or back.

You can also take into account the ‘summer times’ used in the different areas of the world. Most of the cities on the world map can be included in one of 3 basic areas, or “Summer time zones”

-‘Europe’, ‘Southern’ and ‘Northern’. The approximate ‘summer times’ for these zones are:

Europe	End of March to end of October.
Northern	Early April to end of October.
Southern	Late October to end of February.

Each city on the map is associated with one of these zones, or with ‘None’. To check what the Summer time zone is for a city, select the city in the Map view, and then select Change city details from the Edit menu.

Time 139

When the clocks are due to go forward or back in the cities in a particular Summer time zone:

1.Select the Summer times command from the Tools menu.

2.Tick the time zone if it is changing to summer time; remove the tick if it is changing back to winter time. If your Home city is in that zone, then ‘Home’ is ticked automatically and the netBook clock will adjust accordingly.

The clocks, and sunrise and sunset times, for each of the cities associated with the ‘Summer time zone’ are changed.

Note: If the Home city has a ‘Summer time zone’ of ‘None’ because it is not in one of these 3 zones, but its clocks are due to change, you can change the netBook clock to ‘summer time’ by ticking ‘Home’.

When you travel

Whenever you travel, reset your Home city to the town or city to which you have travelled. Then, provided that the city details and ‘summer time’ setting are correct on the netBook for the city to which you have travelled, the information in the Map view will automatically be accurate.
