I set the clock manually. The colon between the hour and minutes flashes continually. Is it supposed to do that?

Yes, it does -- I've had mine for 3 + years and it's been working wonderfully. Very pleased with it! :)

Yes, mine does that. I've had mine for over a year and been very happy with it.

Send it back. We couldn't get ours to keep the correct time and the company kept telling me that it would adjust itself. It never did.

Since the times are all set manually I would think you will have to reset by hand. We bought ours between time change so we will find out for sure early next month when we "fall back".

I don't think it's an atomic clock by any means but my power went out one day and the clock came back on with the correct time. But I believe that I'm gonna have to be adjusting it during during the seasonal time changes. And btw, I tried emailing the company about the dim feature that doesn't seem to work and the email they provided doesn't work. Don't know what's up there. Very unprofessional.

My clock is also defective to the point of gaining or losing 3-4 hours per day. I have set it manually and automatically with no difference. Re-read the manual and no help. Since so many have reported this problem, I see no solution but to return it and buy another brand. BL

I cannot find the instruction manual, but I think you hold down the auto button until it blinks, then program hour and minute and am or pm good luck

Has never happened to me. Does it go away when you push program button? Or Program + hour?

I also have not been able to get my clock to the correct time zone...it has the right time, but mountain time....I unplugged it various times, and it does correct the 12:00 time eventually, and push the button that says EST, but it doesn't take it...I really got it for the size and sound of the radio, so I have given up on getting the getting the correct time. I even looked up others who explained how to get the time going on amazon, but didn't work for me.

I don't know, but I do have a problem setting the time. I noticed the plug has to be pulled out first, and then I still have a problem.

There are two sensors inside to the left and right (little round black things), slap some black polish on it. You can now manually control the time. Your Welcome :) Make sure it's unplugged when you do this.

I can only imagine that the circular time dial is not securely connected to the timer shaft. There is a philips head screw that attaches the dial to the shaft. My guess is that the clock shaft is turning and that since the dial is not 'connected' to the shaft, that it is not advancing in time...so take off the dial, examine how it connects/interlocks to the shaft and then re-install it.

Your clock should set the time automatically at 2 a and 3 am each day. If not, follow these steps:1. Slide switch ti "time set" and the time will flash on display. Press the HR, MIN, and SEC buttons until you reach desired time.2. Slide the switch to calendar and year & date will flash on the display.Press YEAR, MONTH & DATE buttons until you reach desired setting.3. Slide switch to LOCK.4. In the normal mode press the 12

Best thing you can do is send this clock back. They are all pieces of crap. It isnanshame too because I really liked it. I had no trouble getting mine to set. But unfortunately when I did.....the numbers kept fading in and out. There is a little map on the screen. Just toggle one of the buttons on top till you find the one that darkens the area of the map in which you live. The clock should set itself thereafter as far as the time goes. Hope you have better luck with your than I did mine.

No. The clock is auto sync with the satellites. The time should be correct every time you turn it on once the detector syncs up.

I found a solution that seems to fix the erratic clock. Turn the Auto setting to "off". Then turn Daylight Savings to "off".

To change time, hold down the clock button on the left side of the unit until the time flashes. Then enter all "0's" to clear the tiem - mine didn;t cooperate when I used the "clear" function - and enter the correct time. Press the "clock" button, but don't hold it, once you have the time set. My clock loses time now, so don't rely on it to stay accurate over the life of the unit. Check OXO's web site for a manual or email them to send you one. They have been very responsive in the past. Have a great day!
