OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE TIME, THE FIRST TIME
Important: The first time you connect your new SmartSet
®
clock radio to the AC
outlet the internal computer will automatically set the time correctly for the Eastern
Time Zone, which is the initial default setting. The display will scan for a few seconds
and then show the correct month, date, day and time in the Eastern zone. If you live
in the Eastern Time zone, there’s nothing else to do. Your clock is set correctly and
running.
If you do not live in the Eastern Time zone you must change the default zone
display to your own zone. You only do this one time and the SmartSet
®
will
remember the new default zone setting and will always return to that setting after
a power interruption
There are 7 time zones programmed into your SmartSet
®
clock radio as follows:
Zone 1 Atlantic Time
Zone 2 Eastern Time
Zone 3 Central Time
Zone 4 Mountain Time
Zone 5 Pacific Time
Zone 6 Yukon Time
Zone 7 Hawaiian Time
To change the default time zone display, depress the Time Zone button. The number
“2” will appear on the display indicating that the default zone is Zone 2, Eastern
Time. Hold the Time Zone button and then press either the Up or Down buttons
until your own time zone appears on the display, then release the buttons. The
clock display will change to the correct time in the time zone you selected. The
clock will always return to the correct time in the zone you selected after every
power interruption. If you move to a different time zone, simply change the default
zone display to the new zone and the SmartSet
®
will remember that setting for
you.
DATE DISPLAY
To see the correct date at any time, depress the Date button. The display changes
from time to month and date (MM/DD). For example, May 21
st
will appear as
“5 21”. When you release the Date button the display returns to the correct time.
