Maxidot and daylight saving

LeighB · 30-10-2006, 16:56

Hi,
I was trying to change the clock yesterday and found the "Time" section in the "Setup" menu.
It was easy to alter the hours 1 back, but I also noticed there is a "Daylight Savings" option. I clicked this and it just added 1 hour! I thought it might have been a clever option that knows the date and automatically adds or subtracts an hour depending on the time of year?
It would appear not though.

Can anyone enlighten me?

It'll be what you click in the Spring to advance the clock for BST. Then presumably you click it again in the autumn to reverse the process.

Thanks, but when I clicked it on Sunday it went forward not back, this is Autumn right??

It probably went forward as it was already in GMT.

It went from Autumn to Spring. Put it back to Autumn, adjust the clock manualy and in the Spring just change to Spring. My car had it the same way as it came out from the factory before Spring.

Of course, you have to do the change manualy when the time comes (I mean next change will be from Autumn to Spring but not adjusting the clock, just Autumn - Spring)
