Date & Time - Danger T-Mobile Sidekick Owner's Manual

Date & Time
The T-Mobile service knows the Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC. (Note that UTC is also known as Greenwich
Mean Time, or GMT.) UTC reflects the mean solar time along the Earth's prime meridian. The prime meridian is
arbitrarily based on the meridian that runs through the Greenwich Observatory outside of London, where the
present system originated.
To set your device time correctly, you must select your time zone. Note that you cannot change the Date and
Time field settings unless you are disconnected from the network (read more in
Settings
on page 38).

2 On the Settings menu, scroll to highlight Date & Time, then press the wheel to open the Date & Time screen:
3 To open the Time Zone pop-up menu, rotate the wheel to highlight the menu, then press the wheel to open
it. Use the wheel to highlight the time zone you want your device to reflect, then press the wheel.
4 If your time zone is not shown, select GMT Offset... from the pop-up menu. The GMT Offset dialog box
opens:

(toward you) to decrease the offset amount.
