DESCRIPTION

Time Zone

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to set the time difference between your

 

time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

 

 

Daylight Saving

If you use daylight savings time, then choose Yes.

 

 

Start Date

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

 

Yes in the Daylight Saving field. The hr 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 select

 

Second, Sunday, March and 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 Mar., Last, Sun. The time you type in the hr field depends

 

on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would type 02 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

 

Yes in the Daylight Saving field. The hr 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 First,

 

Sunday, November and 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 Oct., Last, Sun. The time you type in the hr field

 

depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would type 02

 

because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
