When I changed battery, my SkyScan clock now shows time as one hour later than my actual time (CST-DST).

DST start and stop was changed a few years back. If you clock has embedded code with the old start and stop, the only way to fix it is to turn off automatic DST. Not sure what clock you are using however it appears to picking up the current GMT time. Another cause is if you have a time zone setting, CST, EST, PST etc.

Make sure you put in the right location and timezone in the settings. There is also a checkbox for automatic daylight savings time.

Make sure that it has fresh batteries, set it for the correct time zone, set the DST switch to ON (unless your time zone does not use DST), then place the clock on a solid surface, outside if possible, so that the face of the clock is pointed roughly towards Fort Collins, Colorado. It should reset in a couple of hours - or less.

You don't. Just make sure that the rear switches are set for the correct time zone, and that the DST switch is set to the ON position (unless you're in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time). Make sure that your batteries are fresh, and situate the clock so that the front (or back) is facing roughly in the direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado. Give it a couple of hours to find and sync with the time signal, and it will set itself.

If this model has a DST switch on the back, make sure that it's turned ON. If there's no DST switch you can force a manual change by changing the time zone setting, but you'll need to do that twice a year. Also note that if the clock is more than two years old, turning the DST switch ON will make the clock conform to the old DST changeover dates.

It did not catch the signal from the transmitter. Try re-locating it near a window, higher elevation. Also try changing the batteries if they are weak. Is it set for DST? If not, then it wouldn't change.

Keep pushing the set button until dst shows on the date window then see the clock window it will read on or off press the + button for on or off.

Just did this after problem resetting after changing batteries, press setover and again til it displays est, then press+until your time zone is displayed, it will also display dst, press +till on/or off depending on your location, then US will appear, clock will then set itself. Good luck, how frustrating.

There is a setting on the clock to turn on "DST"- daylight savings time feature. You have to push the set button on the back of the clock repeatedly until you see "DST" blinking. You should also see "OFF" blinking at that point indicating that the feature if turned off. If you now push "+" button on the back of the clock once it should show "ON" blinking instead of "OFF". Hope this helps.
