Description
Set the time zone to GMT
plus 2 hours. The name of
the zone "Ohio" is purely for
documentation purposes.
This is not mandatory for
manual time, but is
recommended. It enables
anyone seeing the time to
know what that time is in
respect to their timezone.
Set Daylight Savings Time
such that it recurs every year
and is based on the summer
time schedule of the USA.
The name of the zone
"Ohio_Summer" is for
documentation purposes
only.
