Setting Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time Function
DST Execution Time: At 2:00 a.m. on the first day of Daylight Saving Time, the clock automatically gains one hour to show 3:00 a.m. When 2:00 a.m. comes on the last day of the Daylight Saving Time, it loses one hour and returns to 1:00 a.m.
Setting DST: If set as below, the unit remembers the start date as the second Sunday in March and the end date as the first Sunday in November. Once set, the unit automatically updates the settings every year thereafter. No further manual setting is necessary unless the law regarding the start and end dates of DST changes.
