Setting the clock
Due to the earth’s rotation, places to the west of you are behind you in time, and places to
the east are ahead of you. Therefore, the earth is divided into 24 hourly time zones. This
system is based on a standard time zone called UTC (Coordinated Universal Time),
previously known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Short wave stations always give the
time according to UTC. Before you set the clock, find out your local time zone.
Setting the local time
When you first switch on the device, or if it has been without a power supply for a lengthy
period, »HOME« and »- : --« appear in the display. The time zone code, for example »5«,
flashes to indicate that the clock has to be set.
1 Set the time zone using the knob on the front of the device.
2 Press »H.T.Z« (on the front of the device).
– Display: for example, »AM« and »12:00« flash.
3 Set the hours using »HR.« and the minutes using »MIN.«.
4 Press »TIME SET« to confirm the setting.
– Display: the current local time.
5 Press »12/24« to switch between 12 and 24 hour clock format.
6 Set daylight saving time if necessary (see page 9).
