    confirm time sync is done.
3. If time sync fails, 2 second long beeps sound and the unit exits time sync mode. Try syncing again with a different iPhone

or iPod or set time manually (see below).

NOTE: The iPhone is constantly updated to current time via cell phone towers. The time on your iPod is only accurate to
