Resetting The Clock After a Total Memory Loss
If you experience a power failure with an exhausted back-up battery in the radio, all of the time and alarm settings may be
lost. In this case the clock will reset itself to its initial default settings when power is restored. If you notice that the time on the
display is incorrect, press the
M/D (MONTH/DATE) button
to check the calendar setting. If the Month and Date are also
incorrect 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 12 and install a fresh CR2450 lithium back-up battery.
2. Connect the radio to the AC outlet and wait until the time is displayed.

and
TIME buttons
together to display the Year. While holding the MONTH/DATE and
TIME buttons press the SET “+” or “ – ” buttons to adjust the Year display.
4. Press the
M/D (MONTH/DATE) button
to display the Month and Date. While holding the
M/D (MONTH/DATE) button
press the SET “+” or “ – ” buttons to adjust the Month/Date display. The Day indicator will change according to the
Month/Date selected.
5. Depress the
TIME button
and the SET “+” or “ – ” buttons to adjust the time display. Be sure to observe the AM indicator
to confirm that you have set the time correctly. If the AM indicator does not appear the time displayed is “PM”.
