Date & Time
The device service knows the Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC. (Note that UTC is also known as Greenwich
Mean Time, or GMT.) UTC reflects the mean solar time along the Earth's prime meridian. The prime meridian is
arbitrarily based on the meridian that runs through the Greenwich Observatory outside of London, where the
present system originated.
To set your device time correctly, you must select your time zone:
1
From the Jump screen open the
Control Panels
, then click
Date & Time
.
2
From the
Time Zone
pop-up menu, highlight the time zone you want your device to reflect, then click.
