FareView Recorders – Daylight Saving Time
OVERVIEW
At Honeywell Video Systems, we endeavor to provide the most innovative and latest video technology products to our customers. This communication is to advise you of a US Federal Government mandate that will change the dates at which Daylight Saving Time occurs in the spring and in the fall starting in 2007 and ongoing until further notice by US Federal Authorities.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Daylight saving time will begin three weeks earlier on the second Sunday in March and end one week later on the first Sunday in November. Daylight Saving Time has expanded in duration. Previously, Daylight Saving Time started on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October.
Year / Date Daylight Saving Time Begins (2AM) / Date Daylight Saving Time Ends (2 AM)2006 / April 2 / October 26
2007 / March 11 / November 4
2008 / March 9 / November 2
How can this affect me?
The FareView system utilizes either Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system environments to adjust for Daylight Savings Time.
If your Fareview system is used in a region that will not use the new mandated Daylight Saving Time dates, no changes are needed.
If your FareView system is used in a region that will use the new mandated Daylight Saving Time dates, go to the Microsoft support website to download the appropriate updates to your operating system.
