Changing the Time Zone

You can display the current time in a different time zone using the Time zone option. The default is local. To choose a new time zone:

  1. Open the Properties window, if not already opened.

    This is described in the section "Customizing the Clock".

  2. Click SELECT on the other option in the Timezone category, as shown in Figure 7-10.

    An abbreviated menu button appears.

  3. Press MENU on the abbreviated menu button, drag the pointer to the desired time zone, and release.
