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 Time, Day and Year in the Eastern zone. If you live in the Eastern Time zone, there is 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 | ZONE 5 | – Pacific Time | |
ZONE 2 | – Eastern Time (Default setting) | ZONE 6 | – Yukon Time |
ZONE 3 | ZONE 7 | – Hawaiian Time | |
ZONE 4 | – Mountain Time |
|
|
To change the default time zone display, press 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 SET 
or 
button until your own time zone appears on the display, then release these 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, press the MONTH/DATE button. The display changes from time to Month and Date (MM/DD).
For example, JUN 6th will appear as “6. 6”, and the day of week will appear in the display at the same time. When you release the MONTH/DATE button, the display return to the correct time.
Year Display
To see the correct year, press the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together. The display changes from time to year.
When you release the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons the display returns to the correct time.
