About the times
UTC is the standard mode. UTC times never change. NZT shows time as it is in New Zealand. This will be displayed as either NZST (Standards Time) or NZDT (Daylight Time).
Custom times are based on the information you provide. You'll need to enter an offset in minutes, this being the difference between UTC and your local time zone. Offsets can be + or - 900 minutes. You'll also need to enter some text for your time zone. Zone names can be up to 10 characters (even though official zones are 3 or 4). If your local zone changes to Daylight (Summer) time then you'll have to update this manually.
