The U.S. daylight savings time (DST) changed in 2007. Prior to 2007 the DST started on the first Sunday of April and ended on the last Sunday of October. The current DST starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday of November. If your V4 sign controller was made before 2007 then it may still have the OLD firmware chips installed. If you would like to update your firmware chips in the V4 sign controller give your local sign company a call for pricing to have them updated. You can also choose to disable the DST setting of V4 sign controller and manual set your time (see steps 5 through 8 above).
