I have no manual, dont know how to do much with it
You cannot set the time. It is automatic. Make sure both alarms are off, then unplug the power. Set the switches on the left hand back side, then plug the power in and wait. The time should start up and correct itself within two minutes. Works for me. Good luck, Rattler
Ugh yeah i have the same problem. the 4 switches at the top dont help. i dont know which one is the time
Maybe you should slide that thing on the top to clock and make sure it's not on the alarm clock
I am sorry, it did not work. I unplug the clock, set the dst to on , Eastern Time and the clocks keep flashing 12:00 am. What do you suppose I am doing wrong?

On the back of the clock - left hand side if you've laid it down on it's face - is a row of switches. You need to start the time set-up with the clock having been unplugged so there's no time set in the .
Now, to those switches: The first (from the left) is DST = Daylight Savings Time - right now you'de set this to "ON."
The second switch is Time Zone: PST, MST, CST, EST (Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern). Set the switch to the time zone you are in.
The third is just the brightness.
Now, to set the time itself:
1 - Turn the clock face back up to where you can see it.
2 - LOOK AT THE CLOCK - LOL! This is an atomically set clock - you shouldn't need to set the time. The atomic clock bounces off of satellites all around the world. There is literally little to no "dead zones" for the clock, so you should never have to set your clock - just set it up like I state at the beginning.
Good Luck!

I can't get the time to set. If I set it at 8:30 and go off and come back it is
still 8;30. I have no manual so don't know what to do. I have misplaced the manual. The clock/radio is about 4 months old. The radio has never
been played. I liked it because the numbers are big and I can see them
without my glasses. Can you please help me? Thanks.
