Defining time zones by country and language

Time zones are based on the actual time zone where the BCM50 base unit is located. The Time
Zone dropdown list on the initialization screen, allows you to be very specific in choosing a
compatible time zone. If your exact location is not on the list, choose the one with the time zone
closest to you. Note that some time zones are individualized because they do not switch from
Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time. For example, this is the case for Saskatchewan.
The format of the time and date changes are based on the prime language of the region.
