The solution appears to be common for all recent Emerson SmartSet(tm) radios (BTW it's not the clock fault, it's the law).
Remarkably Emerson foresaw this, so here we go.
Short version (may require three hands :-) )
DST start:
Press and hold MONTH/DATE and ALARM 1 buttons for at least 3 seconds until the display changes to something like "4 F" (Fourth month, First week) alternating with something like "4. 1" (April 1st, for 2007) or "4. 6" (April 6th, for 2008). While holding down the MONTH/DATE and ALARM 1 buttons, now press the DOWN or "-" Set button (3 times) until "3F2" shows (Third month, second week) alternating with something like "3.11) (March 11th, for 2007) or "3. 9" (March 9th, for 2008). Let go of all buttons and we are now half done.
DST end:
Press and hold MONTH/DATE and ALARM 2 buttons for at least 3 seconds until the display changes to something like "10 L" (Tenth month, Last week) alternating with something like "10.28" (October 28th, for 2007) or "10.26" (October 26th, for 2008). While holding down the MONTH/DATE and ALARM 2 buttons, now press the UP or "+" Set button (1 time) until "11 F" shows (Eleventh month, first week) alternating with something like "11. 4" (November 4th, for 2007) or "11. 2" (November 2nd, for 2008). Let go of all buttons and we are now done.
This should remain until either the lithium battery fails or Congress undoes its work.
BTW the Emerson addendum has a history error. The time change in the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October did not start in 1966, but in 1987. Before that starting in 1966 the standard was set at the last Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October. Except for 1974, when it was January 6th, 1974 (DST start) and October 27th, 1974 (DST end) and in 1975 when it was February 23rd, 1975 (DST start) and October 26th, 1975 (DST end). Before 1966, state and local governments had many different rules. Source: http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/e.html
This clock is programmed to reset on the wrong date. I have one. You can either manually do it or get a new clock. This model will show the incorrect time four times a year, now that DST has changes.

this didn't work
i have a emerson ic200c and its gone crazy...it just keeps searching for time and date....it has the right time and date but it wont stop searching and none of the other fucntions will work..i tryed the above suggestions and they didnt work...help
My CKS3029 clock radio was purchased in May 2004. Was this before Emerson decided to provide a way to reset the Daylight Savings Time Start & End? Nothing happens to the display when I try the suggested solution of holding down the MONTH/DATE & ALARM 1 button for at least 3 seconds or holding down the MONTH/DATE & ALARM 2 button either. Maybe the only answer is to junk this clock but it has been a great clock until DST was revised.
The new time change directions will not work on my CKS2288! Are there any other ideas?
