As of April 2006, Indiana observes Daylight Saving Time (DST) statewide. To change the time zone setting on your Palm, follow the steps below:

From the main menu of the Palm device, choose Prefs.
Choose the Date & Time option.
Next to the "Location:" field, use the drop-down menu to choose Edit List.
Select Indianapolis, and then tap the Edit button at the bottom of the screen.
In the Edit Location screen, use the Time Zone dialog box to select the correct time zone. (As of April 2006, most of Indiana uses (USA) Eastern. For more information, see ARCHIVED: Time zones in Indiana.)
Check the box at the bottom of the screen next to This location uses Day Light Saving Time.
Tap the Starts: dialog box to enter the date that the DST change will take effect. In 2007, this will be March 11, the second Sunday in March.
When you have made your selection, tap OK.
Tap the Ends: dialog box to enter the date that DST ends. In 2007, this will be November 4, the first Sunday in November.
Tap OK to return to the Edit Location screen, and OK again to return the Edit List screen. Tap Done to return to the Date & Time screen, and finally tap Done one last time to return to the Preferences screen.

Note: Every year the start and end dates for DST are different. Starting in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November. For a list of start and end dates, see ARCHIVED: What are the start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time in the US?
