F66 – Daylight Saving Time (DST) Mode
Use function F66 to enable or disable Daylight Saving Time (DST), and to schedule when Local time
enters and leaves DST. The factory setting for F66 is Manual (i.e., DST On). The hour for entering/
leaving DST is given in the 24-hour format. Entering/leaving DST can be scheduled for any hour of the
day, any day of the year. However, transitions scheduled within 24 hours of the beginning/end of the year
may not occur at the desired time. This function also works for locations in the southern hemisphere,
