Title:
Will the date and time setting on my Brother machine adjust automatically with the new Daylight Saving Time?

Description:

Starting in 2007, Daylight Saving Time has been expanded for most of the United States. Daylight Saving Time previously lasted from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October.  The new Daylight Saving Time lasts from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.  This means that in 2007, Daylight Saving Time will begin on March 11th.

 

If you have your Brother machine's Automatic Daylight Saving Time setting turned on and the Date and Time are programmed correctly, then your Brother machine will adjust for Daylight Saving Time on March 11th, the correct date.
