Time Zone

 

 

 

Time Zone

Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between your time

 

zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

 

 

Manual Daylight

Daylight saving is a period from late spring to fall when many countries set their clocks

Saving

ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.

 

Select this option to manually enter Daylight Saving Time settings. Clear this option to

 

have the NSA automatically retrieve Daylight Saving Time settings from the Internet. The

 

NSA will download a new daylight saving resource file from the Internet every month.

 

 

Start Date

Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you selected Enable

 

Daylight Saving. The hour 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 second Sunday of

 

March. 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 use March, Second, Sunday, at 2:00.

 

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 March, Last, Sunday.

 

The time you specify 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 Enable

 

Daylight Saving. 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 first Sunday of November. 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 November, First, Sunday, at 2:00.

 

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 October, Last,

 

Sunday. The time you specify 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).

 

 

Offset

Specify by how many hours to change the time for Daylight Saving Time.

Click this to save your changes. If you configured a new time and date, Time Zone and
