Intelli-Time products are pre-programmed with the correct time and date. Intelli-Time technology instructs the time and date to set themselves.

Set the Time, Date & Units

Press the “SET” button to enter SET MODE. Once in SET MODE, the preference you are currently setting will blink on the display.

To adjust the currently selected (ashing) item, press and release the “p” or

“q” buttons (press and HOLD to fast adjust).

To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET” button again to adjust the next preference. The preference set order is as follows:

You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds. Enter SET MODE at any time by pressing the “SET” button.

*DST is set to ON by default. If you live in an area that observes daylight

saving time, DST should remain ON.
