Time and Date Setup

difference between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time

 

(GMT).

 

 

Time Zone Setup

 

 

 

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 Enable Daylight Saving. The at 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 Last, Sunday,

 

March. The time you type in the at 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).
