Does the timer automatically convert to daylight saving time or does it have to be reset twice per year?

You do have to reset it twice a year. The electronics involved with that are usually in a computer.

Changes date and time. Doesn't change at daylight savings time though. Works great

It turns on at dusk and off at dawn after the current time, date, and time zone is set. It comes with a directory of cities for possible adjustments within a time zone. The on/off perods then change with the changing seasons. You can also select a fixed on/off time period. This is a great timer and I have purchased a second one.

yes. example, my settings were: Mon-Thur, Off 3am-6pm. On 6pm-3am/ Fri, Off 3am-Sat 7am On 7am-7pm/ Off Sat 7pm-Sun 7am On 7am-3pm. Very programmable for each of seven days. My opinion though is the more it turns on and off, the shorter the life of the unit.

I believe you have reset the timer each time, I didn't use the time except for once but had it on all the time.

No, it is strictly a count-down timer. You can manually change it after the 2 hours, but cannot program it to change for you.

It's just a timer. It doesn't do day or night time settings. You set it for however many minutes or hours you want and it simply counts down.

There are two different alarm settings, but you have to manually set one or the other. The functionality is there but not what I would call automatic. Regardless, we are happy with the clock after having it a couple years.

The time on mine always resets after I turn it off and back on. However, it always sets to the correct date, and exactly one hour behind the correct time regardless of what I've set it to. It's almost as if it has a way to automatically set the time, but has the wrong time zone or daylight saving time set. I thought it might be getting the info from the GPS; but I recently traveled to a different time zone, and it reset the time to two hours behind. In other words, it didn't know that I traveled to a different time zone.

Using it as count down timer, it will reset to the previous time used. No need to reset it each instance, unless of course a different time is required.

If it does accept the time of day you set, it should not change unless your batteries are very weak. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer, may be defective. I've had mine running continually for 6 months with absolutely no problems so far.

If I set it for 10 minutes will it remember it next time or do I have to set the timer again?

I set it to Sunrise and Sunset in January 2015....It appears to be adjusting on/off to keep up c/ the longer days

I set it once based on the instruction set (which I don't have anymore). I think you have to press and hold one of the buttons for a few seconds to set the minutes and press again to set the seconds. Not sure which button though. Good luck. My clock ran 5 minutes fast everyday so I've just ignored it since then.

Yes. By setting the current time and date, this unit knows whether it is standard or daylight savings time and will make the appropriate changes on the correct date. One of the few clocks in my house that will do this.

No, it is a standard timer that only goes up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. You have to reset it every time you use it.

Yes, provided you press "stop". If you do not, it will reset to "0", although pressing "start" again will bring up your previously set time.
