I hit a wrong button by error, and the clock now shows 24-hour time. How can I change it back to US time?

When you are in clock mode, press and hold the stop/start button for 3 seconds. That toggles it between 24 and 12 hour mode. Here is the manual, if it will let me post a link: http://www.generaltools.com/assets/images/Manuals/TI388_Manual.pdf

I had to pull out my instructions to answer this one, but the answer is the unit is capable of both. To change the time format: You can choose between the 12-hour system (default) or the 24-hour system to display the time. Press and hold the Alarm Reset/Off and Snooze/Brightness/Enter for about 3 seconds. The time format toggles between the 12-hour system and the 24-hour system.

Push the start/stop button when time runs out-then push the hour and minute buttons simultaneously to reset

It needs reset to a 24 hour clock; if the instructions explain how to do that I did not notice.

Mine shows standard time (am/pm). I didn't notice a way to turn it into military time, but it may merely be an option.

Hold the 'Mode' button down until the hour, minute or date comes up, then push the 'Set' button to set the hour that you want. Then push the 'Mode' button again to move to the minute and push 'Set' until you get the minute you want. Then push 'Mode' to change the month and date and then push 'Mode' again to display the time.

The time function is useless. I could not figure it out, really. I think I did it opposite...whatever. I just use the time override and forget it.

I didn't realize that you could use 24 hr. time. I cannot figure out how to do it. The instructions that I have do not give any indication that you can change time format. If you do find a way, I'd like to know.

Hello daylight savings! ;) if you cold down the clock button on the left it will start to flash. Then enter the time. Not sure about a manual.... Hope this helps!

The 24 hour dial can be rotated by hand to the current time. There is an arrow with the word 'time' just above the manual 'on' lever. Line up the correct time with the arrow. If you want to change hours of operation, you should have adjustable on/off actuators that have set screws and can be loosened, placed on the 24 hour dial where you want on and off times, then tighten the set screws. If you are missing the actuators, they can be ordered as a set for replacement.

Yes ...1. Press and hold the CLOCK button until the display disappears (about 3 seconds).2. Press START/STOP to switch between AM and PM.3. Press the number keys to enter the time, including the seconds. If you press a wrong number, press CLEAR. (For the hours between 1 and 9, you must enter zero before the hour; for example, 02:30:40 is two hours, thirty minutes, and forty seconds.)4. To switch between the 12-hour and 24-hour formats, press the 12hr=24hr button on the back of the unit.

Mine switched from 12 to 24 hour format the first time I pressed a set key, and nothing I did afterward would switch it back to 12 hours. I went through every possible combination of the three buttons.

Ah, I just did that for my dad's unit yesterday due to daylight saving time change.On the back of the unit, press 'Mode' (farest right) button once, then keep pressing 'Hour' (farest left) button to change the hour until the time showing is what you want. If you need to change the minute, go through the same routine except the minute button,which is the middle one of the 3 buttons on the back of the unit.Good luck!

If there is a setting to change to a 24-hour display, I couldn't find it...I think it is 12-hour only.

Sorry, I haven't needed to change the time on it. It's been on the correct time since first power up. But I believe the clock is in the settings menu.

If there is a way to change it from a 24-hour clock, I have yet to find it. The display is small, so it really isn't a problem. Having lived in Europe and been in the military, the 24-clock doesn't bother me in the least. From a product viewpoint, it would have been better if the manufacturer made it more adaptable to the way people are comfortable viewing the time of day.
