Daylight saving is a period from late spring to fall when many countries
set their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more
daytime light in the evening. Select
Enable
if you use Daylight Saving
Time.
Start rule
Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you
selected
Enable Daylight Saving
. The
Time
hour
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
you would select the second radio button,
Second
,
Sunday
,
March
and 2 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 select the second radio button,
Last
,
Sunday
,
March
. The time you select in the
Time
field depends on your
time zone. In Germany for instance, you would use 2 because
Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
