Have a sky scan atomic clock model 86715. it does not adjust when we have the time change. What can I do to correct the time.

My father-in-law and his caregiver had a problem with one of these atomic clocks. They could not figure out how to set the time. I studied it and found the time zone setting on the back. It was very tiny printing and he could not see it. They had set it to Mountain time accidentally. He is eastern. I moved it to Eastern and it took the clock about 10 minutes to completely move around to the correct time. Other than changing the time zone there was no other way to set the time.

The clock is on the wrong time zone. Check on line or the instruction booklet to find out how to set the correct time zone.

Please go to your browser and type in the information line Atomic Clock directions. All of the companies that produce this type of clock are listed. I believe SKY Scan has its directions ready to be opened when clicked on! GOOD LUCK!

How do I reset the time on my atomic clock 8700?

how do I set the clock for PST?

This clock will set it's self in a 24 hour time frame. You need only set the time zone your in.

If it does not correct it;s self change walls and location in your house.

The transmitter is located in Fort Collins, Colorado. this station transmits the time codes and is best received at night.

Hope this tip helps.

.
The clock should now display "month/day/day of the week/moon phase/Temperature"
.
NOTE: Moon phase and Seconds will correct on first reception from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
.
Lastly,
Press "+" once,
Temperature changes to seconds
>>Press "+" once,
Temperature returns on right-most panel and
seconds replaces day of the week.
>>Press "+" one last time and you are back to done!!!
