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 flashing “
low
” 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 “
12:00, Saturday, January 1st (1. 01), 2005
”.
If you notice that the time on your SmartSet® clock radio is completely
incorrect, and the day indicator is also wrong, press the
Date/Month
button to
see the date.
If the date display is showing “
01.1
” ( January 1st ) , you probably experienced
a total memory loss.
To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:
1.) Follow the instructions on pages 40-41 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
Date/Month
and
Time
buttons together. The display will change
from ‘Time’to ‘Year’. While holding the
Date/Month
and
Time
buttons, press the
Tuning/Skip
button to set the display to the correct year if necessary, and
then release the buttons.
