TIME SETTING
The time in the TIME mode advances correspondingly with the time in the WORLD TIME
mode. Once the time of a desired time zone is set in the TIME mode, the time of all the
22 time zones covered in the WORLD TIME mode will be set automatically. By specifying
whether the time set in the TIME mode is standard or daylight saving time (summer
time), the WORLD TIME mode will automatically display the correct standard and
daylight saving times for the respective time zones.
* Daylight saving time is a system adopted in some countries to make the best use of
the daytime during a certain period in summer. Under this system the time is
advanced one hour from the regular time.
Note: The time differences and use of daylight saving time (summer time) may
change in some areas or countries when they are so decided by the countries
concerned.
