on, Jackie’s voice will giggle through a squeaky clean com- ment, and then spout the time. Then you can say, “It’s time to get funnier comments.” Jackie will say the time differently depending on the time of day (duh). That is, if the time is exactly on the hour, he will announce “one PM” for 1 PM (when it’s 12 PM “twelve noon” will be heard, and when it’s 12 AM Jackie will say “twelve midnight” ... oh, he’s good). If the time is between 1 and 9 minutes on the hour, he will announce “one oh three PM” for 1:03 PM. If the time is greater than 9 minutes on the hour, he will announce “one ten PM” for 1:10 PM. The seconds on the time display will not be announced, because by the time you say them, it’s wrong already.

Jackie will say the date as “Wednesday, January one, two thousand and three (or two thousand three or twenty oh three)” for

Continue changing each digit until you reach the last digit. Press the ALARM CLOCK button to set
the alarm. The icon “ALARM ON” will display on the LCD. Press the ALARM CLOCK button again to turn off the alarm. (This
