the time server (if configured).

new time and date, time zone and daylight saving at the same time, the time

 

zone and daylight saving will affect the new time and date you entered.

When you set Time and Date Setup to Manual, enter the new time in this

 

field and then click Apply.

Server Address

administrator if you are unsure of this information.

 

 

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

Select this option if you use daylight savings time. 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.

 

 

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).
