Well I have just seen it is +00. Is it always that or is it to do with daylight saving & so it would then be +01?

Time zones are related to where you are not daylight savings. We are in zone +0, europe is -1 hour etc.

Fay - I have time zone set to 0 & then in Summer (now) I have Daylight Saving set to YES & in winter (when clocks go back) I set daylight saving to NO. When I turn handset on I set the time via my laptop. Should be the same on both your mounts.
