This unit is a preset Clock: the clock is preset at the factory. It’s simple to match the Time Zone setting to your location (US only).
1. Depending on your location and whether or not Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect, manually set the

DST Switch

located at the

after switch is last moved.

2. Press and hold the

Time Zone Button

located on the back of the unit until the Time Zone flashes on the lower part of the display. Turn

3. Press the

Time Zone Button

again (or no button within 10 seconds) to exit the time zone setting mode.

4. If the displayed time is not correct, please see Setting Time and Calendar below.

Using Time Sync with iPhone/iPod

The iP87 Time Sync feature allows you to sync the time setting on the iP87 to the time from your iPhone or recent model iPod (iPod
Touch, iPod Nano and iPod Classic; older iPod models such as iPod mini do not support this feature).
1. Dock your iPhone/iPod.
2. Press the

Time Sync Button

located at the back of the unit. “Sync” flashes on the lower part of the display.

3. The iP87 will sync to the time on your iPhone/iPod.
4. Once sync is completed,“SyncOK” will appear on the display.
5. If sync was not successful, “Failed” will appear on the display. If this happens, please try again with a different iPhone/iPod, or set the

time manually (see below).

NOTE:

iPhone time is automatically updated to the correct time via cell phone towers. The time on your iPod is accurate only to the time

on the computer the last time the iPod was synced to it

It’s possible to have up to 59 seconds difference between the iP87 and synced

iPhone/iPod
