Set the date and time

Your FydeOS device automatically sets the time when you’re connected to the web.

  1. Sign in to your FydeOS device.

  2. At the bottom right, select the time.

  3. Select Settings ⚙️.

  4. Scroll down and select Advanced.

  5. In the “Date and time” section:

    • To manually choose your time zone, select Time zone > Choose from list > **Down arrow **.
    • To switch to a 24-hour clock, turn on Use 24-hour clock.
    • For higher accuracy or if you use a virtual private network, you can let your FydeOS device use Wi-Fi or data networks to find your location. Select Time zone > Set automatically > **Down arrow ** > Use Wi-Fi or mobile networks to determine location.

How your FydeOS device finds your location

Your FydeOS device uses your IP address to find your approximate location. Your FydeOS device sends that info to FydeOS Location Services to estimate your time zone. If you choose “Use Wi-Fi or mobile networks to determine location,” your FydeOS device also sends info about nearby Wi-Fi or data networks (if your FydeOS device has a data plan). This info helps your FydeOS device find your location more accurately.
