RESETTING THE CLOCK AFTER A TOTAL MEMORY LOSS
If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time
after you see the BATT. LOW ‘flashing’ warning indicator, the lithium battery may
become exhausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the E-Z
Set internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery
is exhausted, or if a power interruption occurs, the E-Z Set memory will be lost and
the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored. Be sure to install a fresh
lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the clock will need to be reset
each time the power is interrupted.
If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC
power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is
restored.
The initial default setting is “AM 12:00, Saturday, January 1
st
(1. 1), 2005”.
If you notice that the Time on your E-Z Set clock radio is completely incorrect, the
Month/Date and Day indicators are also wrong, you probably experienced a total
memory loss.
To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:
1.) Follow the instructions on page 17 and install a new CR2430 lithium battery in
the battery compartment.
2.) Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.
3.) Depress the TIME and DATE buttons together. The small display will change
from ‘month/date’ to ‘year’.
While holding the TIME and DATE buttons, press the UP or DOWN button to
set the small display to the correct year, then release the buttons.
4.) Depress the DATE button and the UP or DOWN button to set the small display
to the correct month and date. The Day indicator will change automatically as
you adjust the month/date settings. When the correct month and date appear
on the display, release the buttons.
Depress the TIME button and the UP or DOWN button to set the main display
to the correct time. Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to
“AM” or “PM” by observing the AM indicator.
