DESCRIPTION

 

 

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 Daylight Saving at the same time, all

 

 

 

 

of the settings take affect.
