These Date & Time settings affect the time shown in the status bar at the top of the screen, and in world clocks and calendars on your iPad Mini.

Set whether iPad shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time: Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn 24-Hour Time on or off. (24-Hour Time may not be available in all areas.)
Set whether iPad updates the date and time automatically: Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically on or off. If you set iPad to update the time automatically, it gets the correct time based on your cellular (on Wi-Fi + cellular models) or Wi-Fi connection. In some cases, iPad may not be able to automatically determine the local time.
Set the date and time manually: Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically off. Tap Time Zone to set your time zone. Tap the Date & Time button, and then tap Set Date & Time.

Note: This article will work on all iPads using iOS 6; including iPad Mini, iPad 2, The New iPad (iPad 3), iPad 4 (iPad with Retina display).
