Setting the clock automatically
The clock time and day of week can be set automatically when receiving
an RDS station that transmits clock time (CT). The CT information is
transmitted once every minute. If the station has sufficient signal
strength the clock will set within one or two minutes.

when it finds a station of sufficient strength. If the station is of
sufficient strength the
symbol will light up in the liquid
crystal display.
8. The auto time indicator
will flash in the liquid crystal display
indicating that the radio is waiting for the RDS time signal. The
indicator will stop flashing when the time is set.
If the clock does not set within three to four minutes, the radio station
may not be transmitting clock time (CT) information - try another

The clock time and day of week are updated each time the radio is
switched on and whilst listening to an RDS station transmitting clock
time (CT) information.
