DST Settings
You can set DST for the desired area as required. By default, the DST is set to Automatic, so it can be
adjusted automatically from the current time zone configuration.
The time zone and corresponding DST pre-configurations exist in the AutoDST file. If the DST is set to
Automatic, the device obtains the DST configuration from the AutoDST file.
You can customize the AutoDST file if required. The AutoDST file allows you to add or modify the time zone
and DST settings for your area each year.
