Time Zone
This menu lets the user enter a value for the time offset to UTC each for winter time
(daylight saving off) and for summer time (daylight saving on). This setting as well as
the following described Daylight Saving settings come into affect only when the clock
is used as a free running clock. Otherwise the changeover in daylight saving occurs
according to the reference source (e.g. DCF77). Pressing MENU acknowledges the
changings and switches to the next menu.
Daylight Saving
W/S D:
In this menu the automatic changeover from daylight saving off to daylight saving
on can be edited. Pressing SET lets the user edit the date of the changeover as des-
cribed before but there is one peculiarity:
Beginning of daylight saving may either be defined by exact dates for a single year or
using an algorithm which allows the DU35S to recompute the effective dates year by
year.
The example beside shows how to enter the first case:
The day-of-week does not need to be specified and
therefore is displayed as wildcard (*). The date of next
years changeover has to be entered as well (year by year).
In the second case the day-of-week must be specified. Then, starting from the confi-
gured date, daylight saving starts the first day whitch matches the configured day-of-
week.
The example shows what has to be entered when daylight
saving has to start the last sunday in march every year:
The year (**) does not need to be specified because the
changeover algorithm is valid for all further years, too.
W/S T:
In this menu the time of the changeover from daylight saving off to daylight saving
on can be edited. Pressing SET lets the user edit the time of the changeover as des-
cribed before. Press MENU to acknowledge and to leave this menu.
