Q: My iphone did not change back to my time zone after a trip. I do not know how to change the time manually.

My 5c iphone automatically changed to Eastern time from Central time when I travelled from Mississippi to New York. It did not, however, change back to Central when I came home to Mississippi. I have tried turning off the automatic time setting function in order to select the date and time manually. Although I did not know how to set the time manually, I fooled around with it and somehow figured out how to select the appropriate time and date from a list which could be scrolled through. "Chicago" is apparently the time zone, and yes it is also in Central time.  The problem now is that I don't see a command for implementing the change. I don't see any way to "tell" the phone to replace the incorrect time  with the one I have manually selected. Everything I see online stops before that last crucial step of implementing the change.  Any ideas?

iPhone 5c, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), null
