SETTING THE TIME

Follow these steps to power your receiv- er from your vehicle’s battery power.

1.Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 3V.

2.Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with TIP set to +POS.

3.Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the receiver’s DC 3V jack. This dis- connects the internal batteries.

4.Plug the other end of the adapter into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

SETTING THE TIME

The receiver has a dual time clock so you can set the primary clock for your lo- cal time and the secondary clock for an- other time zone. You can select a 12- or 24-hour clock display format.

Choosing the Time Format

1.Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow and remove the cover.

2.Remove any batteries from the com- partment.

3.Set CLOCK to 12H for a 12-hour for- mat or to 24H for a 24-hour format.

4.Replace the batteries.

5.Replace the cover.

6.Press POWER to turn on the receiver and activate the format change.

Setting the Primary Clock

Follow these steps to set your local time.

1.Press POWER to turn on the receiver. FM 87.50 MHz appears on the display.

2.Press CLOCK. 12:00 slowly flashes.

3.Press TIME SET. 12:00 rapidly flashes for 60 seconds.

4.Use the number keys to enter the correct time while the display flashes. For example, to enter 9:30 AM, press 9, 3, and 0.

To enter a PM time, press MEMORY/ STORE AM/PM. pm 9:30 appears on the display.

Note: You can use > or < to set the time instead of using the number keys. Press > to advance the time or < to set the time back.

If you set the time using the time tone from a time standard fre- quency, press TIME SET when the time tone sounds to synchronize the seconds. (See “Time Standard Fre- quencies” on Page 14.)
