Setting the time

[PMB]

Hi All,

Clocks went back in the UK so you will need to adjust the time on the B2 - use the front control to go to the Settings menu >> select Set Time Zone >> turn the control to adjust the hours and press to confirm.

But I'm not in the UK! Why should I have to adjust the time if I'm already in a different time zone?

You do not have to :)) - Paul was just sending a friendly reminder that for those of us where the clocks have just leapt back an hour, we will need to adjust the B2's time too. 

If your local time does not leap about madly in spring and autumn/fall, just continue as normal.

Oh, my local clocks do leap about madly in spring and autumn, but not on the same days as most of the world. In fact, here it's more like in WINTER and fall, as they change on the FIRST Sunday in March, which is not yet Spring, and then the first Sunday in November. At the moment, I have to subtract only 4 hours to understand the BBC Radio 3 schedule.

I shall spare you my semi-annual diatribe about the idiocy -- historical, sociological, and psychological -- of daylight-shifting time. Instead, I shall quote the apocryphal American Indian chief who said, "If you cut a foot off one end of a blanket, and sew it on the other end, only a white man would believe you have a longer blanket."

It's why I set my clocks to GMT and do mental arithmetic. Cheers -- m.

I wonder if the folks in Greenwich have to change their clocks.  ;o)
