The DST can be set according to unique start and end dates for a particular year or as a recurring period for any year.
For a specic setting in a particular year, complete the elds in the Daylight Savings area; for a recurring setting, complete
the elds in the Recurring area.
Daylight Savings:
– USA — The device switches to DST at 2:00 a.m. on the rst Sunday of April, and reverts to standard time at 2:00 a.m.
on the last Sunday of October.
– European — The device switches to DST at 1:00 am on the last Sunday in March and reverts to standard time at 1:00
am on the last Sunday in October. The European option applies to EU members, and other European countries using
the EU standard.
– Other — The DST denitions are user-dened based on the device locality. If Other is selected, the From and To elds
must be dened.
Time Set Offset (1-1440) — Used for non-USA and European countries to set the amount of time for DST (in minutes).
The default time is 60 minutes.
From — Indicates the time that DST begins in countries other than the USA and Europe, in the format Day/Month/Year
in one eld and HH:MM in another. For example, if DST begins on October 25, 2007 at 5:00 am, the two elds should be
set to 25/Oct/07 and 05:00. The possible eld values are:

To — Indicates the time that DST ends in countries other than the USA and Europe, in the format Day/Month/Year in
one eld and HH:MM in another. For example, if DST ends on March 23, 2008 at midnight, the two elds should be 23/
Mar/08 and 00:00. The possible eld values are:
– Date — The date on which DST ends. The possible eld range is 1-31.
– Month — The month of the year in which DST ends. The possible eld range is Jan-Dec.
