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.

computer will remember that setting for you.

Operating Instructions
Daylight Saving Time (DST) and Leap Year Adjustments
All Daylight Saving Time and Leap Year adjustments are made automatically by the Redi-Set internal computer as follows:
Start of Daylight Saving Time – At 2:00 AM on the 2nd Sunday in March the clock will automatically advance to 3:00 AM.
End of Daylight Saving Time – At 3:00 AM on the 1st Sunday in November the clock will automatically reset to 2:00 AM.
Leap Year – At 12:00 midnight on February 28th in a Leap Year the calendar display will automatically change to “2.29”.
Note: If you live in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) you may disable the automatic Daylight Saving
Time (DST) feature. Depress and hold the TIME ZONE button for 10 seconds. The display will briefly show “OFF” and then
return to the correct time. The automatic DST feature is now disabled and the time will not change automatically from
Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time. Repeat this procedure again to re-enable the automatic DST feature. After holding
the TIME ZONE button for 10 seconds the display will briefly show “ON” and then return to the correct time. The automatic
DST feature is now re-enabled.
Manual Time Adjustments
Some people like to set their clocks 5 to 10 minutes fast to make sure that they will always be ‘on time’. Even though the
Redi-Set internal computer sets the time automatically, you still have the option of adjusting the time manually if you wish.
To manually adjust the time display depress and hold the TIME button and press either the SET� or � buttons to adjust the
time display back or forward as desired.
Each press of the SET� or � buttons will change the display by one minute. If you hold SET� or � buttons the display will
continue to change. The display will change slowly at first, two minutes at a time. But if you continue holding the SET� or �
buttons, the display will change rapidly.
Note: If you manually adjust the time your new setting is entered into the Redi-Set internal computer as the new default time
setting. If the power is interrupted the display will return to your new setting, not the original setting, when the power is
restored.
