clock timezone <timezone>command.For example, both of the following commands set the time zone to Pacific Standard Time:
hostname (config) # clock timezone UTC-offset UT
hostname (config) # clock timezone America North United_States Pacific

The time zone is for display purposes and should match other security device settings.
Restore the default time zone:
hostname (config) # no clock timezone
View the configured time and date settings:
hostname (config) # show clock
Save your changes:
hostname (config) # write memory
