Mark, I think you can download a PDF from their website. By the way, I have 4 of those radios. They are great. I had one that was left out in the rain for 3 days. Works perfect!

First, point the arrow on the CENTER dial to the current time of day, then, starting W/ all the buttons on the outer ring in the "up" position, push DOWN on the buttons that correspond W/ the time(s) you want your device to operate. While this is possibly a bit more complicated than, say, in intermatic timer-W/ on/off clips, it saves the expense of buying the clips- @ ridiculous prices.

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!

Frequency coverage is identical to the variants. That is MW 522 to 1710 kHz, SW 2.30 to 23.00 Mhz and 64 to 108 Mhz on FM broadcast. There is no SSB mode or LW coverage. There is a FM Stereo-Mono selection. But this ALWAYS defaults to mono when selected. So if you desire Stereo, you must press the FM band TWICE every time. Ditto for the RDS function (in the case of the RDS you have to drop into a menu to activate it...every time, a royal pain). Both have LCD icons when activated. Doesn't seem to do NOOA weather based on web reviews.

Simple. Just push the switch to turn or off manually. It will over ride your time settings.

Not being out at my car right now, you might think I'm not being much help, but look at the buttons on the sides, and play around with them a bit. I, of course, have to change the time by an hour twice a year, and because it tends to run fast, I roll the minutes back a bit about FOUR times a year. And EVERY time, I've forgotten what I did the last. If you play with the "mode" button, and the other one for a few minutes, you'll get it. Honest. Press one until the desired number (month, day, hour or minute) is blinking, then by pressing the other, the number should advance. I hope this helps a bit. Because otherwise, the little clock is very helpful to me, as the clock in my car is broken, and I can't fix it without replacing my whole sound system.

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.

Mine came displaying 12 hour time, and when I first pressed the button to set it, it switched to 24 hour time. But then about a year later, when I reset it for DST, it switched back to 12 hour time, and nothing I did would switch it back. Sorry I can't help. Somebody is making a fortune off of these clocks, because they have about $5-10 worth of parts in them.

I use the quick minute feature all the time. It's easier than setting the dial. If I want less than a minute, I just open it when I think it's ready and hit the off button. It's very easy to hit the button a few times and then hit start.

Press the mode button fiirst. This will be the button on the lower left side of the watch. Keep pressing the mode button until TIME comes up. First you will see 12H and it will be flashing.Tap the screen again and you should be able to set the time using the (- or +). I hope this helps. Good luck. Feel free to ask more questions if need be.

There should be a button on the left side that says set. Hold it in until the screen flashes then use the mode button to switch between each item to set like hour minutes month day year etc.. I believe the button on the right adjusts the numbers up or down.

sorry, it's been a while since I set the clock, but I do remember that I had to set the analog clock manually (i.e. set it digitally and have the hands then move automatically to match the digitally set time)...You could also try their customer support, however, at the time I was doing my setting-up, they were surprisingly unknowledgeable about this specific model, as it was new.

Bob: I'm sorry, but my Krups KM730D broke down and I tried to return it to Amazon, but it was after 30 days from purchase and they would't consider a return, so I tossed it. (It was something like 36 days) But I was able to set the clock, both hours and minutes. Look in the owners manual. If you've tossed it, you can Google it. Good luck! Rod Sampson

Try this: Unplug it, wait a few seconds and plug it in. Press the SET button and then the up or down arrow button. I have to wear glasses during this part because the writing is so tiny, but along the left side you should see it switching from AM to PM to 00(military time), every time you push the up or down arrow. Once you've got it to what you want, then press set again. Now you use the up or down arrows to set the minute of what time it is RIGHT NOW. Then press set again and use the up or down arrows to set the hour of what time it is RIGHT NOW. Press set again and go through the same routine to set the minute and hour of your desired wake up time. This will become the time when the "sleeping bunny" becomes the "wake up" bunny. There's one last set of times you can set but i've never used that feature. I just press set until it goes back to the time you originally set which is the time it is now. That's it! If that doesn't work, it may be broken.

As this was a gift, I made a call and asked if there was a problem. Seems everything is fine with the time. She didn't have to change it for DST. It was done for her. I guess it depends on your carrier. Sorry.

Sorry I threw away the directions. But you can play around with it and figure it out. I think you push and hold the top button until you get hours and you go to the bottom button to set the hour. Push the top button again to get minutes and then set the minutes with the bottom button. Continue to set the day and month.

What model do you have? If it's the JID0124 that Amazon is asking me about, it only displays time, so date-related information such as leap year and day is immaterial. If you can't figure it out, return it quickly. Many people seem to be having trouble with clocks from DBTech/DBRoth. Mine doesn't work the way the instructions describe.
