Setting the clock automatically

The clock time and day of week can be set automatically when receiving an RDS station that transmits clock time (CT). The CT information is transmitted once every minute. If the station has sufficient signal strength the clock will set within one or two minutes.

1. Switch on the radio with the On/Off button.

2. Select the FM waveband using the Band button.

3. Fully extend the wire aerial on the rear of your clock radio.

4. Repeatedly press the Time button until the auto time symbol appears in the display.

5. Press and hold down the Up or Down buttons until the frequency in the display begins to change rapidly, release the button.

6. The radio will now start to search the FM waveband and will stop when it finds a station of sufficient strength. If the station is of

sufficient strength the symbol will light up in the liquid crystal display.

7. The auto time indicator will flash in the liquid crystal display indicating that the radio is waiting for the RDS time signal. The indicator will stop flashing when the time is set.

If the clock does not set within three to four minutes, the radio station may not be transmitting clock time (CT) information - try another radio station. e.g. BBC R1, R2, R3 or R4.

The clock time and day of week are updated each time the radio is switched on and whilst listening to an RDS station transmitting clock time (CT) information.
