Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Assigning DST to a city

Designating Daylight Saving Time (DST) for a city automatically sets the time for that city one hour ahead of its regular time.

1.Press MENU , select SET CLOCK then press

ENTER .

2.Select either CHANGE LOCAL CITY or CHANGE WORLD CITY (it doesn’t matter which you choose) then press ENTER .

3.Select the desired city using ¶ , ˜ , PREV and

NEXT .

4.Press ➞ .

A symbol appears to the left of the city, indicating that DST is in effect.

5.Press ENTER .

To de-assign a city’s DST setting, simply follow the above

procedure and press ➞ again (this toggles DST between

on and off).

Enabling and disabling DST

Once DST is assigned to a city, it remains in effect until it is de-assigned. Once a year, cities using DST will switch back to regular time. Rather than having to de-assign DST for each city separately, you can simply disable the Organizer’s DST feature itself, which then applies to all cities within the Organizer. When these cities switch back to DST, you can simply re-enable the feature without having to change any city’s entry.

1.Press MENU to open the Clock menu.

2.The current DST setting (enabled or disabled) is indicated by a tick. Select ENABLE DST to change the setting.

When DST is disabled, the DST symbol disappears from the Clock display.

Setting daily alarms

You can set alarms just like on a regular clock, separately from Schedule events, using the Clock menu. Set alarms will sound even if the Organizer is turned off.

This can be especially convenient, for example, when you need an alarm as a simple reminder or to wake you up, but do not want to make a full Schedule entry.
