their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in
the evening.
Enable
Select
Enable
if you use Daylight Saving time.
Start
Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving time starts if you enabled Daylight
Saving. You can select a specific date in a particular month or a specific day of a
specific week in a particular month. The
Time
field uses the 24 hour format. Here are
a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving time starts in most parts of the United States on the second Sunday
of March. Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2
A.M. local time. So in the United States, set the day to
Second
,
Sunday
, the month to
March
and the time to
02:00
in the
Time
field.
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of March. All of
the time zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving time at the same
moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would set the day to
Last
,
Sunday
and the month to
March
. The time you select in the
Time
field depends
on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would select
02:00
in the
Time
field
because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
End
Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving time ends if you enabled Daylight
Saving. You can select a specific date in a particular month or a specific day of a
specific week in a particular month. The
Time
field uses the 24 hour format. Here are
a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of November. Each
time zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time.
So in the United States you would set the day to
First
,
Sunday
, the month to
November
and the time to
02:00
in the
Time
field.
Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of October. All
of the time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight Saving Time at the same
moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would set the day to
Last
,
Sunday
, and the month to
October
. The time you select in the
Time
field
depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would select
02:00
in the
Time
field because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
