Daylight Saving Time
Select how DST will operate:
Disable—No clock adjustment will be made for DST. This is the default selection.
Recurring—The settings will be in effect for the upcoming period and subsequent years.
EU—The system clock uses the standard recurring daylight saving time settings used in
countries in the European Union.
USA—The system clock uses the standard recurring daylight saving time settings used
in the United States.
Non-Recurring—The settings will be in effect only for a specified period during the year
(that is, they will not carry forward to subsequent years).
When a DST mode is enabled, the clock will be adjusted one hour forward at the start of the
DST period and one hour backward at the end.
