return to the correct time. The automatic DST feature is now disabled and the time

Manual Time Adjustments
Some people like to set their clocks 5 to 10 minutes fast to make sure that they will always be ‘on time’. Even though the
Redi-Set internal computer sets the time automatically, you still have the option of adjusting the time manually if you wish.
To manually adjust the time display depress and hold the TIME button for 3 seconds until “0” begins flashing in the display.
While the “0” is flashing in the display enter the desired time on the SimpleSet keypad, press the AM/PM button if necessary
to switch between AM and PM, and then press the ENTER button. The clock will ‘beep’ twice to confirm that the setting was
accepted and the new time will appear on the display.
Note:
If you manually adjust the time your new setting is entered into the Redi-Set internal computer as the new default time
setting. If the power is interrupted the display will return to your new setting, not the original setting, when the power is
restored.
