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 set 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 01 | - | Atlantic Time |
Zone 02 | - | Eastern Time |
Zone 03 | - | Central Time |
Zone 04 | - | Mountain Time |
Zone 05 | - | Pacific Time |
Zone 06 | - | Yukon Time |
Zone 07 | - | Hawaiian Time |
To change the default time zone display, depress the TIME ZONE button. The word “ZONE” appears in the main display, and the number “02” will appear on the month/date display, indicating that the default zone is Zone 02, Eastern Time. Hold the TIME ZONE button and then press either the SET + or SET – 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
The correct month and date appear in the small display. The month and date are expressed numerically in the MM/DD format. For example, May 21st will be displayed as (5. 21). This display adjusts automatically for months of different lengths. For example, at midnight on February 28th (2. 28), the display will automatically change to March 1st (3. 1), unless it is a Leap Year, in which case the display will change to February 29th (2. 29).
