# Changing a Device's Time Zone Settings

1. From the **Devices** window, select the device that you need to edit. The device detail window opens, defaulting to the **Status** tab.

![Skykit Control displays Device South online with status, reboot, reset, volume, brightness, and application settings.](https://cdn.document360.io/86c4dfb2-4202-4f4a-97e1-d24441ae8c90/Images/Documentation/Device_Detail_Status_Tab_Updated.png)
2. Scroll to the **Timezone** setting and select the appropriate time zone from the drop-down list.

![Settings screen highlights the Timezone field set to Pacific/Marquesas alongside volume, brightness, and application configurations.](https://cdn.document360.io/86c4dfb2-4202-4f4a-97e1-d24441ae8c90/Images/Documentation/Device%20Detail_Timezone%20Setting.png)
3. Select **Save Configuration** to save the change.

> Important Note
> 
> The time zone set in Skykit Control affects time based settings in Control, such as scheduled reboot. This is distinct from the time zone set in Beam, which controls Beam features such as Play Rules. Read more [here](/v1/docs/why-does-my-device-have-different-timezones-in-beam-and-control).
