Daylight Saving
— Enables setting automatic Daylight Savings Time
(DST) on the device, either on a non-recurring or recurring basis. In the
non-recurring case, DST is configured to apply to one specific period
of time only, defined by specifying the begin and end times, months,
days, and years. Non-recurring settings need to be changed every
year. In the recurring case, the year is not specified, so that the time
and date settings apply to every year. The possible field values are:
