How to manage your time settings – and make sure you do not miss meetings
Depending on the software you use, your computer may still show “winter time” or Daylight Saving Time although the previous time change in Namibia was abolished with legislation.
Here are tips how to adjust your time settings and how to make sure your schedule for meetings is not wrong.
CHANGING THE TIME
1 Go to the control panel on your desktop or laptop.
2 Choose “Date and Time”
3 Untick boxes for Daylight Saving Time
4 Choose “Change Time Zone”
5 Select UTC+02:00 Harare, Pretoria (i.e. Central African Time)
6 Press OK to save changes
The time on your computer should now display correctly.
MY MEETINGS
You might see in Outlook that times for meetings and appointments still show a difference of one hour. This is because the time zone for meetings is still set to Windhoek and the now defunct Daylight Saving Time.
1 When scheduling new meetings or appointments adjust the time zone to UTC+02:00 Harare, Pretoria.
2 Check meetings scheduled previously and adjust the time zone as above where required.
