Roberts Radio R9969 manual Switching on and setting the clock, Setting local time

Switching on and setting the clock

Before setting the clock make sure that the local time zone is known. There are 24 time zones based on a standard time zone called the UTC (Universal Time Co-ordinated), previously known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), as shown in the diagram on the back of the receiver.

Two different local times can be set, local time '1' and local time '2'.

Setting local time 1

When the receiver is first switched on the display indicates that the clock has to be set. The digital display will show '0:00' and the local time '1' symbol will be shown.

Note: If you are operating the receiver in the 12-hour format, AM and PM can be set by pressing the Memo AM/PM button.

1.Place the receiver on a flat surface. Make sure that the batteries have been inserted correctly, or if using mains power, plug the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on at the wall socket.

2.Press down and hold the Freq./Clock button until the display indicates the time can be set. The digital display will show '-:--'and the local time '1' symbol will flash.

Note: If the radio is switched on, press the Display button to switch the display to the clock.

3.Enter the time using the numerical buttons '1 ..... 0' in the correct sequence.

Note: If the digits are entered incorrectly, a signal sounds and 'Err' flashes briefly in the display. The time will have to be entered again.
