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 Daylight Savings. The o'clock 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 type

 

 

2 in the o'clock field.

 

 

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 o'clock 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 Daylight Savings. 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 First, Sunday, November and type 2 in the

 

 

o'clock field.

 

 

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 o'clock 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).
