Setting the Time

Figure 1

Determine Your Model

Before proceeding, it is important to know the exact model of your
clock so it can be set properly. The fourth digit in the model number
indicates the print format.

Model Print Hours Print Units Description

xxx1 1 – 12 , 1 – 12 00 – 59 12 Hour & Minutes

xxx2 1 – 12 , 1 – 12 .0 – .9 12 Hour & Tenths

xxx3 1 – 12 , 1 – 12 .00 – .98 12 Hour & Hundredths

xxx4 00 – 23 00 – 59 24 Hour & Minutes

xxx5 00 – 23 .0 – .9 24 Hour & Tenths

xxx6 00 – 23 .00 – .98 24 Hour & Hundredths

Example: Since the fourth digit in the model number 2104 is a “4”, it
will print with 00-59 minutes and 00-23 hours (see table above). The
model number is located on the Label 1.1 positioned as shown in
Figure 1.
