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 low battery warning indicator, the lithium battery may become exhausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the SmartSet® internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery is exhausted, or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet® 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 6:00 AM, Thursday, January 1st (1. 1), 1998. If you notice that the time on your SmartSet® clock radio is completely incorrect, and the month/date and day indicators are also wrong, press the TIME and MONTH/ DATE buttons together to see the year. If the year display is showing “1998” 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 13 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 MONTH/DATE buttons together. The small display will change from ‘month/date’to ‘year’.
4.) While holding the TIME and MONTH/DATE buttons, press the SET + or
SET – button to set the small display to the correct year, then release the buttons.
5.) Depress the MONTH/DATE button and the SET + or SET – 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.
6.) Depress the TIME button and the SET + or SET – 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.
7.) After you set the time, reconfirm that the Day and Month/Date displays are still correct. Make final adjustments if necessary.
The SmartSet® clock memory is now reset and the new lithium battery will maintain it for the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the number and duration of the power outages you experience.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After resetting the clock, don’t forget to reset your wake up times, and alarm mode settings, and sleep timer settings as well.
