Setting Summer Time Hours

Summer Time Hours, also referred to as Daylight Savings Time
(DST), is the strategy of moving clocks ahead to provide greater
amounts of daylight in the afternoon and to standardize time with
other parts of the world. In many parts of the world, the Summer
Time Hours algorithm is based on a standardized rule. For example,
in the Western hemisphere, the rule used by most locations in
Canada, Mexico, and the United States is to set clocks forward by
one hour at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April and back an hour
at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in October annually. Many
countries in Europe and Asia follow similar rules. The offset, or
amount of time by which the clock is set forward or backward,
varies from country to country.

Many parts of the world follow a one-time change of Summer Time
Hours. When you configure the switch for these locations, you reset
the clock by specifying a scheduled time and date.
