Time Zone Setup |
|
|
|
Time Zone | Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between your |
| time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). |
|
|
Daylight Savings | Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set their |
| clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in the |
| evening. |
| Select this option if you use Daylight Saving Time. |
|
|
Start Date | Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you selected Daylight |
| Savings. The o'clock field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples: |
| Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the first Sunday of |
| April. Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. |
| local time. So in the United States you would select First, Sunday, April and type 2 in |
| the o'clock field. |
| Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of March. All of |
| the time zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving Time at the same |
| moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last, |
| Sunday, March. The time you type in the o'clock field depends on your time zone. In |
| Germany for instance, you would type 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour |
| ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1). |
|
|
End Date | Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you selected Daylight |
| Savings. The o'clock field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples: |
| Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the last Sunday of October. Each |
| time zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. |
| So in the United States you would select Last, Sunday, October and type 2 in the |
| o'clock field. |
| Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of October. All of |
| the time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight Saving Time at the same |
| moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last, |
| Sunday, October. The time you type in the o'clock field depends on your time zone. |
| In Germany for instance, you would type 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour |
| ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1). |
