How to set the time/date (you have to do them both together)

March 5, 2015.
I'm selling these Zenith Z1233BA Clock Radios
on ebay. I have sold about 10 without any problems, but someone just ask if I know where the get the instructions. I could not find the manual online.
Here are some of the basic.
To set the time set the lock button on the bottom to off, press the clock button, the clock will flash then use the set buttons on top to change the time. Use the <> to change the time, when the time is set press and hold the enter button until you hear a beep. You have to cycle through all the minutes to get to the next hour. Do the same to set the zone. And to set the Date select the CAL button and do the same as setting the time. Put it back on lock when the time, date and zone are set.

To set the Alarm press the Alarm Set button then use the set buttons on top change the Alarm time. Use the <> to change the Alarm time, when the Alarm time is set press and hold enter until you hear a beep. Press the Alarm On/Off button to select radio or buzzer for the alarm or alarm off. To set the PRESETS tune the radio to the station you want to be a PRESET, then press and hold a PRESET button until you hear a beep.

Hi,
Please follow these instructions:

Setting the Clock
1. Press and hold the 5 Time Set Button until the display begins flashing.
2. Press the 10 Reverse or 14 Forward Button to set the time. Holding a button for a few seconds will advance or reverse the time rapidly. Set the correct AM/PM time, shown by the PM Indicator on the display.
3. After setting the time, press the 15 Enter Button or wait about ten seconds for the unit to beep twice and the display to return to the normal mode.

Setting the Calendar
1. It is important to set the correct date in order to use the 7-5-2 Alarm settings. Press and hold the 6 Date Set/7-5-2 Button until the display flashes and the year replaces the month/day at the bottom of the display.
2. Press the 10 Reverse or 14 Forward Button to set the correct year, and then press the 15 Enter Button. The unit will beep and the display will show the month and day. Again, press the 10 Reverse or 14 Forward Button to set the current date.
3. After setting the date, press the 15 Enter Button or wait ten seconds to return to the normal display mode.




I hope I could help.
Thanks

Hello
To adjust time follow this.

Auto-Set Time and Date Settings

This model is equipped with the Auto-Set feature, meaning that the time and date have been programmed at the factory

and will already be set when you first plug the model in. Auto-Set will automatically adjust the time and date settings for

daylight-saving time and leap years. Auto-Set is programmed for Eastern Standard Time; if you do not live in this time zone,

you can easily switch the setting to one of six other time zones.

1. To change your time zone setting, press and hold the 8 Time Zone Button. The current Auto-Set Time Zone in the

lower-right-hand corner of the display will flash for approximately ten seconds, after which the display will revert to the

standard clock display.

2. While the Auto-Set Time Zone is flashing, press the 1 Reverse and 6 Forward Buttons to select your time zone.

The display will show each zone's current time setting. There are seven zones to choose from:

Auto-Set Time Zones

Z-01 Atlantic Standard Time

Z-02 Eastern Standard Time

Z-03 Central Standard Time

Z-04 Mountain Standard Time

Z-05 Pacific Standard Time

Z-06 Alaskan Standard Time

Z-07 Hawaiian Standard Time

3. Find your time zone, then press the 4 Enter Button or wait about ten seconds for the clock to beep twice and the

setting to lock into place.

Manual Time and Date Settings

1. To change your time setting, press and hold the J Time Set Button so that the clock display begins flashing.

2. While the display flashes, press the 1 Reverse and 6 Forward Buttons to set the time. Hold a button for a few

seconds to set the time rapidly. Be sure to set the correct AM/PM time, shown by the PM Indicator.

3. After setting the time, press the 4 Enter Button or wait about ten seconds for the clock to beep twice and the setting

to lock into place.

4. To change the calendar, press and hold the 9 Date/7-5-2 Button until the display shows the flashing year.

5. Press the 1 Reverse and 6 Forward Buttons to set the current year. When you have selected the year, press the

4 Enter Button, then use the 1 Reverse and 6 Forward Buttons to set the month/day.
6. After you have set the date, press the 4 Enter Button or wait for the display to beep twice and lock into place.

Hold a button for a few seconds to set the time rapidly. Be sure to set the correct AM/PM time, shown by the PM Indicator. 3. After setting the time, press the 4 Enter Button or wait about ten seconds for the clock to beep twice and the setting to lock into place. 4. To change the calendar, press and hold the 9 Date/7-5-2 Button until the display shows the flashing year. 5. Press the 1 Reverse and 6 Forward Buttons to set the current year. When you have selected the year, press the 4 Enter Button, then use the 1 Reverse and 6 Forward Buttons to set the month/day. 6.
