Did you find this one?:

It describes how the default time zone (which is automatically detected from
the OS in R5) can still be over-ridden in the settings...

Switching time zones with locations in R4:

"When you initially specify your time zone, Notes applies the same time zone
setting to all Location documents. The Home, Office, and Island locations
are all initially configured for the time zone you choose. However, because
Notes is a great mobile client, you can also configure some Location
documents for a different time zone.

For example, your Office location can be configured for EST (Eastern
Standard Time) and you can use a location called Hotel when you travel. When
you go to Chicago for a week, you can switch to the Hotel location and then
select File - Mobile - Edit Current Time/Phone. Notes 4.x displays the
following dialog box:"


R5 - "However, if you are already familiar with the Notes 4.x method of
switching time zones with locations and you still want to do that, you'll be
happy to know that Notes R5 still supports it. "
