+      <title>Methods</title>
+
+      <para>Use <function>SetTime()</function> to change the system clock. Pass a value of microseconds since
+      the UNIX epoch (1 Jan 1970 UTC). If <varname>relative</varname> is true, the passed usec value will be
+      added to the current system time. If it is false, the current system time will be set to the passed usec
+      value. If the system time is set with this method, the RTC will be updated as well.</para>
+
+      <para>Use <function>SetTimezone()</function> to set the system timezone. Pass a value like
+      <literal>Europe/Berlin</literal> to set the timezone. Valid timezones are listed in
+      <filename>/usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab</filename>. If the RTC is configured to be maintained in local
+      time, it will be updated accordingly.</para>
+
+      <para>Use <function>SetLocalRTC()</function> to control whether the RTC is in local time or UTC. It is
+      strongly recommended to maintain the RTC in UTC. However, some OSes (Windows) maintain the RTC in local
+      time, which might make it necessary to enable this feature. Note that this might create various problems as
+      daylight changes could be missed. If <varname>fix_system</varname> is <literal>true</literal>,
+      the time from the RTC is read again and the system clock is adjusted according to the new setting. If
+      <varname>fix_system</varname> is <literal>false</literal>, the system time is written to the RTC
+      taking the new setting into account. Use <varname>fix_system=true</varname> in installers and livecds
+      where the RTC is probably more reliable than the system time. Use <varname>fix_system=false</varname>
+      in configuration UIs that are run during normal operation and where the system clock is probably more
+      reliable than the RTC.</para>
+
+      <para>Use <function>SetNTP()</function> to control whether the system clock is synchronized with the
+      network using <filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename>. This will enable and start or disable and stop
+      the chosen time synchronization service.</para>
+
+      <para><function>ListTimezones()</function> returns a list of time zones known on the local system as an
+      array of names (<literal>["Africa/Abidjan", "Africa/Accra", ..., "UTC"]</literal>).</para>
+    </refsect2>
+
+    <refsect2>
+      <title>Properties</title>
+
+      <para><varname>Timezone</varname> shows the currently configured time zone.
+      <varname>LocalRTC</varname> shows whether the RTC is configured to use UTC (false), or the local time
+      zone (true). <varname>CanNTP</varname> shows whether a service to perform time synchronization over the
+      network is available, and <varname>NTP</varname> shows whether such a service is enabled.</para>
+
+      <para><varname>NTPSynchronized</varname> shows whether the kernel reports the time as synchronized
+      (c.f.
+      <citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>adjtimex</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+      <varname>TimeUSec</varname> and <varname>RTCTimeUSec</varname> show the current time on the system and
+      in the RTC. The purpose of those three properties is to allow remote clients to access this information
+      over D-Bus. Local clients can access the information directly.</para>
+
+      <para>Whenever the <varname>Timezone</varname> and <varname>LocalRTC</varname> settings are changed via
+      the daemon, <function>PropertyChanged</function> signals are sent out to which clients can subscribe.
+      </para>
+
+      <para>Note that this service will not inform you about system time changes. Use
+      <citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>timerfd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+      with <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant> and <constant>TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET</constant> for that.

+      should interactively ask the user for authentication credentials if required.</para>
+
+      <para>The polkit action for <function>SetTimezone()</function> is
+      <interfacename>org.freedesktop.timedate1.set-timezone</interfacename>. For
+      <function>SetLocalRTC()</function> it is
