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

Enable

Daylight Saving

. 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

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

Enable

Daylight Saving

. 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

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).
