RESETTING THE CLOCK AFTER A TOTAL MEMORY LOSS
If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time
after you see the low battery warning indicator, the lithium battery may become
exhausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the SmartSet
®
internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery is
exhausted, or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet
®
memory will be lost and
the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored. Be sure to install a fresh
lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the clock will need to be reset
each time the power is interrupted.
If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC
power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is
restored. The initial default setting is 6:00 AM, Thursday, January 1st (1 1), 1998. If
you notice that the time on your SmartSet
®
clock radio is completely incorrect, and
the day indicator is also wrong, press the Time and Date buttons together to see the
year. If the year display is showing “1998” you probably experienced a total memory
loss. To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:
1. Follow the instructions on page 10 and install a new CR2430 lithium battery in
the battery compartment.
2. Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.
3. Depress the Time and Date buttons together. The display will change from
‘time’ to ‘year’.
4. While holding the Time and Date buttons, press the Up button to set the display
to the correct year, then release the buttons.
5. Depress the Date button. The display will change from ‘time’ to ‘month/date’
(mm/dd).
6. While holding the Date button, press the Up button to set the display to the
correct month and date. The Day indicator will change automatically as you
adjust the month/date settings. When the correct month and date appear on
the display, release the buttons.
7. Depress the Time button and the Up button to set the display to the correct
time. Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to ‘AM’ or ‘PM’ by
observing the AM indicator.
8. After you set the time, reconfirm that the Day, and Month/Date displays are
still correct. Make final adjustments if necessary.
