I think that's what I did and yes, it worked. It is amazing how much time the Mpower, at least mine gains in a week or two. I have never written it down, but I bet if the time says say 17:01:30 and I reset it after a couple of weeks with the gps command, it will probably lose at least 30 seconds. I wonder if there is some way of making the clock more accurate? Jim

Hi yall, I figured out a simple work around. Just before you update the timewith the GPS do the following. First go and turn off the daylight savings.Next go into the gps and update the time. Finally go back into the time setting and re check or say yes to daylight savings. This will now make your time correct.

The main problem is the US congress's change to when Daylight savings occurs here in the USA and Canada. I am thinking that after the "normal" day for daylight savings has passed this issue would resolve itself (but for that 2-3 week period the time would be off by an hour). Sorry about this folks, not much I can do, I tell Keysoft what the GMT time is from the GPS receiver and it is up to the BrailleNote to set its internal clock correctly. I guess I would make sure you have the latest version of Keysoft, and if you do and its still happening then I am at a loss, I guess try again in a few days when the originally scheduled DLS is soposto kick in (not sure exactly what day that would be) and that hopefully will resolve this issue.
