Notes	•The range for the year is 0 to 99 which corresponds to the year 2000 to 2099. •For the USC-3, the time zone depends on the SD image: oSD image ≤ 2: Central European Summer Time (CEST). This time zone is a Daylight Saving Time (DST) zone. With DST, the clocks are set forward by one hour in spring and back by one hour in autumn. The one hour time change only takes effect on DateTime objects after a reboot of the USC-3. oSD image ≥ 3: the time zone is set to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT or UTC). This time zone is not a daylight saving time (DST) zone. This is also the case for USC-2 cards. •For the USC-2, the time zone is set to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time zone is not a daylight saving time (DST) zone.
