Europe is subject to provisions that were standardized by the EU and have been in force
since 1996. The entire central part of Europe, extending from Spain to Poland and from
Italy to Sweden, uses what is known as CEST, Central European Summer Time.
You can find out what regulations apply in other regions of the world from Wikipedia for
example, where this is explained in great detail.
Many of these provisions are included in the Zeitgeist 2 with examples of countries.
Here you can choose between Europe, USA, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Israel,
Australia, New Zealand, and "Disabled". With "Disabled", CET then applies again
instead of CEST, i.e. winter time in place of daylight saving time.
For clarification: If "Daylight saving time" is selected in the Settings menu for one of the
above countries, the device will automatically switch over to daylight saving time
according to that country's rules, i.e. on the relevant days in spring and fall.
The time zone mentioned above in section 7.4 must be set to the normal time of that part
of the world, i.e. its "winter time".
The Zeitgeist 2 does not offer any separate options for specifying whether daylight
saving time currently applies: this is solely determined by selection of the date and the
country above.
7.6 Normal reset / Factory reset
This menu item can be used for two different purposes:
1. To determine the version number of the installed software WITHOUT resetting the
settings.
It may be possible that customer service will ask for this before sending the device
in for repair.
2. To restore the factory settings, i.e. to re-adjust the Zeitgeist 2 if its settings are
totally incorrect.
When this process is performed, all settings will of course be lost.
Please note here: The Zeitgeist 2 features two types of reset (RESET) as
described in the section 5, "Operating states and Reset".
If the computer of the Zeitgeist 2 has merely become "frozen", it is sufficient to
perform a normal RESET by pressing the Top and Bottom button for around 12
seconds. The device will then restart and your settings will be retained, except for
the alarms.
After you call up the function using the Settings menu, an audio message will first be
output for reset and the buttons will then assigned as follows:
•
Top
SHORT
or
Middle

........ To play the reset message again
•

•
