Make sure the clock is in the normal clock-display mode, not in a "set" mode. Press the minute key (again, while not in a set-anything mode) and you will see the hourly announcement toggle on and off. The person who designed it that way needs a good kick right in the bracket.

Hi,

You press and release the mode button, then press the adjust button. This is what the instructions say to do. However, I see that you don't have an adjust button listed. I would try pressing and releasing the mode button, then pressing the ZONEDATE button and see if that will do it.

If this works, please place a vote for me. Thanks,

Push the mode button twice to enter the "set time" mode. Once the digital display is blinking, keep pushing "mode" until the PM display section in the upper left corner comes on. Once that happens you are back to the 12 hour clock. To set the clock, use the 1-4 buttons to set the hours and minutes.

Hope this helps.

Push both the up and down buttons at the same time. You might have to repeat this two or three times. It will tell you when the alarm is off.

Push the "mode" button twice to enter the time change function. Once the display is blinking keep pushing the mode button until you see the "pm" icon on the LCD display. When that happens set the clock as you normally would using the 1-4 keys.

Remember to check if the 12 hour clock is set to AM or PM.

Good luck.

Hi, I haven't solved th eproblem, but it's such a small thing and I will just perservere - it's not worth taking your valuable time. Thanks, Rob

I purchased a Bratz talk back alarm clock for my daughter, however, she threw away the instructions.
Can you tell me how to work the clock to hear it talk back or to activate the talk back voices.
