Travel alarm clocks can have varying instructions, depending on the type of clock you are using. Here are some tips for use that will apply to any alarm clock.

1. Power source
   • Travel alarm clocks will need to have some sort of power source. Depending on the type of alarm clock, it might be battery-powered or it might have a cord that needs to be plugged in. Battery-powered alarm clocks can take mini watch batteries, AAA batteries or sometimes AA batteries. Travel alarm clocks, because of their tiny size, usually have the small batteries that need to be bought from a watch store or a dollar store. Before you leave, make sure you have a working power source and can turn it on.
     
   Changing the time
   • After you reach your final destination, power the alarm clock on. Now you'll need to set the time and date correctly. Check a watch, cell phone or television to get the exact time and locate the buttons or dials on your alarm clock. On some, there will be a "time" or an "hour" button you need to press and hold to activate the alarm time change. While you are holding it down, turn the dial, press the hour button or press the (+) button until you notice a time change. On others, simply pressing the hour or minute button will let you change the time shown.
     
   Setting AM/PM
   • The AM/PM option is critical in setting your alarm clock correctly. Make sure the LCD display on your clock has a light beside the correct AM or PM setting, or look for the letters AM or PM on the display. If you get this wrong, the alarm won't go off in the morning!
     
   Setting alarm time
   • To set the alarm time, look for a button or a switch that says alarm. If there is a switch, move it to the alarm setting. If it is a button, you'll need to hold it down until the time starts flashing, signaling time to change the hours and minutes to the desired alarm time, or hold it down while you press the hours and minutes buttons to reach the alarm time you want.
     
   Turn alarm on
   • Now double-check that your regular and alarm times are correct by switching the switch back and forth again, or by pressing the alarm/time buttons long enough to read the time set. There should be a picture of a bell somewhere on your LCD display showing that the alarm is set to "on." If there isn't, look for the on/off alarm button and move it to the correct position.
     
   Music options
   • The last step is finding the alarm wake-up option. Not all travel alarm clocks have this option, but if yours does there will be a switch or button that lets you choose to wake up by a buzzer, the radio, a CD, or another device.

Hi Chris, is this the one?




Like most of this type, it should have a button named TIME, and another one named ALARM.
Then there should be one button named HOUR, and another one named MINUTE.

With the radio turned off, press and hold the TIME button, then tap the HOUR button until you reach the current hour, AM or PM.
Release the TIME button.

Press and hold the TIME button again, and tap the MINUTE button until you see the correct minutes.
Release the TIME button.

Now repeat the same operation with the ALARM button, to set the time the buzzer or music should come on.

If you have any further questions please email me.

I can't make out the names of the buttons or functions from my image, so if you need any extra information, please send me a clear image of the top and front of the radio.

Thanks!

The Rc-95 has a switch underneath and should be on when you want to set the time..

For most clocks of the RCA clocks without a clock or time set button, press Set until you see the clock icon. Press the fwd or rev button to change the time. Release the button when you reach the correct time. (AM or PM will be indicated next to the time.)

There are manuals for several RCA cd clock radios available from their site: http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/select.aspx?u=manual . Check if your specific model is listed in the menus.

I hope this helps.

You have tried re-setting it, Right?

What happened when you did?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note: This problem ended up under Vacuum cleaners-
You might want to try re-listing it again-- under Electronics?-

The hour and minute hands can be pushed onto their respective shafts at any point in most clocks.
If you already know the time that the alarm is set, let the clock run until it sounds.
When the alarm sounds, install the hour hand and the minute hand to the exact alarm set time. If, say, the alarm is set for 6:30, push the hour hand onto it's shaft at exactly half way between 6 and 7 and then push the minute hand onto it's shaft pointing at exactly 6.
I think this should get you operating.

Post in correct area for help. :)

press time\alarm button three times for min hand and again for hour

The Hour/Minute buttons are on the bottom of the radio. Just press the hour or minute buttons to adjust the regular time. Alarm is the same but you hold the alarm button on top.
