In addition to the GMT hour settings, it is possible to change the GMT by minutes
using the Zmins (Zone Minutes) setting. If your time zone does not fall on the
exact hour, you can change the minutes of your time zone by using the up and
down arrows.
After the clock has received its time sync, the time immediately changes to reflect
a change in the zone. Thus, changing the zone from Eastern to Central at 11:34:35
will cause the time to change to 10:34:35 immediately.
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time: Yes (default)
This tells the receiver to make the change to and from Daylight Saving Time each
year. If the setting is “No” then the receiver will not change the time at the start or
end of Daylight Saving Time. If Daylight Saving Time is in effect, changing this from
NO to YES will cause the hour to change appropriately. If Daylight Saving Time is
not in effect, changing this setting will have no affect on the hour. If your locality
does not observe Daylight Saving Time, change the setting to “No” so it will not
change the time. The new rules for Daylight Saving Time have been incorporated in
the receiver (
DST begins on the 2
nd
Sunday in March and ends on the 1
st
Sunday
in November
).
