Congratulations on your purchase of an Acu-Rite Set and Forget alarm clock, the first
alarm clock to automatically display the time as soon as it is plugged in. The clock will
show the correct time in the Eastern Time Zone (default). Simply slide the switch to your
time zone and the time will adjust to your correct local time.
To Set DST (Daylight Savings Time)
To set the DST (On/Off), press the DST button once, and then press the (+) or (-) button
to turn the DST function on or off, if the display shows (doN) it means DST is on and
(doF) means DST is off. After turning on the DST function the first time, DST will be
updated automatically. This allows people living in areas that do not observe DST to set
their clock to the correct time quickly & easily.
DST starts: First Sunday in April at 2am.
DST ends: Last Sunday in October at 2am.
To Set Time Zone
Slide the TIME ZONE switch located on the back of the clock to your local time zone.
To view the time zone status on the display press the DST button twice and a time zone
code number will be shown at the right side of the display. Code number key:
1 = East Standard Time (EST)
2 = Central Standard Time (CST)
3 = Mountain Standard Time (MST)
4 = Pacific Standard Time (PST)
