Time Zone Setup

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

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.
Select this option if you use Daylight Saving Time.

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 first

Sunday of April. 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 First,

Sunday, April 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 Last, Sunday, March. The time you type in the o'clock 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).

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 last Sunday of October.

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 Last, Sunday, October 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 Last, Sunday, October. The time you type in the o'clock 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).
