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 set the correct month, date, day and time in the Eastern zone. If you live
in the Eastern Time zone, there’s 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 01 - Atlantic Time
Zone 02 - Eastern Time
Zone 03 - Central Time
Zone 04 - Mountain Time
Zone 05 - Pacific Time
Zone 06 - Yukon Time
Zone 07 - Hawaiian Time
To change the default time zone display, depress the Time Zone button. The
word “ZONE” appears in the main display, and the number “02” will appear on the
month/date display, indicating that the default zone is Zone 2, Eastern Time.
Hold the Time Zone button and then press either the Up or Down buttons until
your own time zone appears on the display, then release the 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
The correct month and date appear in the small display. The month and date are
expressed numerically in the MM/DD format. For example, May 21st will be
displayed as (5
.
21). This display adjusts automatically for months of different
lengths. For example, at midnight on February 28th (2
.
28), the display will
automatically change to March 1st (3
.
1), unless it is a Leap Year, in which case
the display will change to February 29th (2
.
29).
