Hi Joyce,

Your device *might* be pre-programed to adjust for ST to DST changes on another date. In 2006, the ST to DST change took place on the 1st Sunday in April and the DST to ST change took place on the last Sunday in October for the last time.

Congress decided that beginning in 2007, that the ST to DST change would take place on the second Sunday in March and DST / ST change back would take place on the first Sunday in October - and has ever since. So, you'll likely see the mismatched time again in November.

If it worked last year - then there is another issue. Unfortunately, without your brand and model, there's little anyone can do to help you out. If you need more help, reply and be sure to include the brand / model info of the device.


Clock changes in Washington DC District of Columbia in 2009

I think we're going to have to have the model number, please.

On my model, I go to menu, then calendar, then calendar will show up & you can use arrows at the top to pick month & year, then once you got the right month, tap on correct day. that is for the date.

The time should come up automatically when you turn on your phone. Mine even changes to correct daylight saving time automatically.

Can't solve it but the clock doesn't know the government changed when daylight ends.

If DST is *already* set to "on" when you reset the time zone to Z-07 (Hawaii), my very recent experience is that the time *still gets adjusted back* by one hour.  Now that daylight savings time is over (at least according to the clock's pre-programmed and outdated schedule) I'm hoping that setting the time zone to Z-07 (Hawaii) will completely cancel the automatic time changes from now on.  Otherwise, I need to purchase another clock, and it won't be a Timex.
