that component of the time.

menu and press ENTER. Use the up- or down-arrow button to select Eastern, Central, 
Mountain, Pacific, Alaska or Hawaii. Press ENTER to confirm your selection. 

Daylight Saving: If you are in a region that observes Daylight Saving Time (DST), select 
Daylight Saving from the Timer menu and set it to Automatic to have the DView 
automatically adjust the time (one hour ahead on the first Sunday in April; one hour back on 
the last Sunday in October). The display must be connected to an off-air antenna or CATV 
system in order for this to work.

You can also manually adjust the time to reflect DST. Set Daylight Saving to On if DST is 
currently in effect. Set it to Off if DST is not currently in effect or not observed in your region 
at all.
