SCTV Clock Assembly Manual

Using Your Clock 

Adjusting the display 

The top left knob is Brightness. It should be adjusted so that the green display is visible but not overly 
bright. The top right knob is Focus. It should be adjusted for sharp lines.  

The lower left knob is Horizontal Position. It will center the display to the left or right. It also serves as 
the left player paddle for Pong, and the block position control for Tetris. It must be recentered after 
playing a game and switching back to clock mode.  

The lower right knob is Vertical Position. It moves the display up and down on the screen. As with the 
Horizontal Position control, it serves double duty for Pong and Tetris. It is the right player paddle for 
Pong and the block rotation for Tetris.  

The large knob at the bottom center is the Mode knob. It is used to select different clock or game 
displays, and to adjust the time or locale settings.  

Setting the time 

The USB jack allows a GPS receiver to set the time automatically, although you have to set the time 
zone and DST manually.  
The setting mode is entered by pressing the big knob until it clicks. You may have to hold the clock 
case, as the knob requires some force to press. You will see a menu with three lines, the top line 

highlighted. Rotate the big knob to highlight Set Time and Date, then press the knob again. You will see 
the time and date displayed, with the top Exit line highlighted. 
Turning the knob will change which item is highlighted. It will cycle through hours, minutes, seconds, 
century, year, month and day.  
Pressing the knob will enable that item to be changed, which is indicated by blinking the item value. 
Rotating the knob will change the value. Pressing the knob again will highlight the next item, allowing it 

to be changed. Pressing the knob repeatedly will end up on the Exit line, which will exit the menu to the 
main setting menu when the knob is pressed. Pressing the knob once more will exit the menu and go 
back to time display mode.  

Setting the locale 

To set the clock’s locale, push the large mode knob to enter the main menu. Rotate the big knob to 
highlight Set Locale, then press the knob again. You will see several options to set.  

Zone sets the time zone used for GPS time. It has no effect unless the optional GPS receiver is used.  

24 hour mode selects whether the hours are displayed as 0..23 or 1..12.  

DST on/off selects whether the GPS time is adjusted ahead by an hour. This is not automatic, since the 
code required to handle all cases is beyond the abilities of the creator of the clock. Feel free to write 
your own code.
