DESCRIPTION
Daylight Saving Time 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 daylight time in the evenings. If you use daylight savings time,
then choose Yes.
Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you
selected Yes in the Daylight Saving field. The hr 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 Apr., 1st, Sun. and type 02 in the hr 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 Mar., Last, Sun. The time you type in
the hr field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you
would type 02 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT
or UTC (GMT+1).
Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you
selected Yes in the Daylight Saving field. The hr 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 Oct., Last, Sun. and type 02 in the hr 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 Oct., Last, Sun. The time you type in
the hr field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you
would type 02 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT
or UTC (GMT+1).
