Set DST/Summer Time
Daylight Saving and Summer Time are hereafter referred to as DST. These settings follow imme-
diately after setting the Local Offset, and are actually part of the Local Offset main menu. DST
settings are normally used to advance and retard the time once each year. The menus in this
section allow you to customize the clock time for your region in 15 minute increments over a plus
or minus 12-hour interval.
Continuing from the Local Offset menu, follow the menus below to complete the DST setup.
After setting the Local Offset, there are two basic values that are necessary to complete this
configuration:
•
DST Start Date and Time
•
DST Stop Date and Time
The menu in Figure 7.6 illustrates how to set up the Start Date and Time. The Stop Date and
Time menus are nearly identical except that the menus say “STOP” instead of “START,” the stop
Month is “November”, and the stop week is “First.” Before setting up your DST feature, make sure
that you understand when DST starts and stops in your region. In each menu, the list of selections
are shown with each category.
