Adjusting the DST Start Date (Spring 3/11/2007)
1.) First depress and hold the ALARM 1 button and then depress the CALENDAR button.
After 3 seconds the ALARM 1 display will show the DST start month, week, and date.
The first digit will show the month (4 = April) and the second digit will alternately show the week (F = First Week) and the date (01 = April 1st). This indicates that Daylight Saving Time (DST) will begin on the first Sunday in April as usual. When you see this display release the ALARM 1 and CALENDAR buttons.
2.) Within 5 seconds, while the display is flashing, press the DOWN or SET button (depending on your specific model) three times until the ALARM 1 display is showing 3 (March) as the month digit and the week/date digit is alternately flashing F 2 (second week) and 11 (March 11th). This indicates that Daylight Saving Time will begin on the second Sunday in March, which will be March 11th in 2007.
IMPORTANT: You must make the adjustments within 5 seconds after releasing the ALARM 1 and CALENDAR buttons, while the ALARM 1 display is still flashing. If the display stops flashing the settings cannot be adjusted. If this occurs, repeat steps 1 and 2 again.
Adjusting the DST End Date (Fall 11/04/2007)
3.) First depress and hold the ALARM 2 button and then depress the CALENDAR button.
After 3 seconds the ALARM 1 display will show the DST end month, week, and date.
The first digit will show the month (10 = October) and the second digit will alternately show the week (L = Last Week) and the date (28 = October 28th). This indicates that Daylight Saving Time (DST) will end on the last Sunday in October as usual. When you see this display release the ALARM 1 and CALENDAR buttons.
4.) Within 5 seconds, while the display is flashing, press the UP or SET button (depending on your specific model) once until the ALARM 1 display is showing 11 (November) as the month digit and the week/date digit is alternately flashing F (first week) and 04 (November 4th). This indicates that Daylight Saving Time will end on the first Sunday in November, which will be November 4th in 2007.
IMPORTANT: You must make the adjustments within 5 seconds after releasing the ALARM 2 and CALENDAR buttons, while the ALARM 1 display is still flashing. If the display stops flashing the settings cannot be adjusted. If this occurs, repeat steps 3 and 4 again.
Once you make the change for the new Daylight Saving Time (DST) schedule beginning in 2007, your SmartSet® Clock Radio will automatically adjust for the new schedule until the end of the century (2099).
NOTES:
If the built in long life lithium battery is removed or replaced while the radio is not connected to the AC outlet all internal memory will be erased and the clock will return to its original default settings.
After installing a new battery and resetting the clock to the correct year, date and time it will also be necessary to reset the Daylight Saving Time (DST) settings as described above.
