| Description | This article describes an alternative to set FortiFones' time according to local Daylight Saving time in a centralized manner. |
| Scope | FortiVoice, FortiFone. |
| Solution | From the FortiFone is possible to adjust the time using the LCD Menu: Setting -> Preference -> Date & Time and 'DST enabled'.
