How do I adjust the clock when it's running slow?

If your cuckoo runs too fast or slow, the best way to correct this problem is to set your cuckoo to an accurate watch or clock. After 24 hours, record how many minutes your cuckoo is running too fast or slow. Then adjust the bob up or down the pendulum stick to change the pendulms effective length. You'll need to take an educated guess as to the distance. Reset the cuckoo minute hand time to your watch or clock again. Repeat this process every 24 hours, recording the results, and readjusting the bob until you are within 3 minutes of the correct time. Then, switch from recording every day to recording every week. Use the same process described, recording the time difference, adjusting the bob up or down every week, until the cuckoo is accurate within approximately 3 minutes per week. Remember, mechanical cuckoo clocks are not as accurate as quartz or electric clocks! A three minute error per week is not bad. Maybe you can do better. What you are attempting to do is to obtain is the best timekeeping possible from your cuckoo clock. Afterwards, you will still need to sychronize the cuckoo (coo coo) clock minute hand to an accurate clock or watch, each week or as desired.

How do I set the clock in the radio?

Typically, you have to hold down a "Time" or "Clock" button, then press either a fast or slow button and hold it until the display reads the correct time. Some models have hour and minute buttons instead of fast or slow, and a few have a slide switch that you move to the clock adjust position (it would also have an alarm set position) before the hour/minute or fast/slow buttons are enabled. Some clocks reset to 12:00 AM if you hold Clock, Fast and Slow all at the same time. You'll just have to experiment a bit to find out what works on yours.

Sony clock radio with auto time set is always 4 minutes fast.

This is easily fixed. Set the time manually the 1st time. Make sure you use the CORRECT time, which is four minutes less than what the clock said when you first plugged it in. Once you reset the timing, it will remember the four minute difference and always show the correct time.

Clock runs 5 minutes fast

Do you mean you set the correct time initially and then gradually got faster?There may be a reset button on it somewhere,no guarantee.It will probably be a small circle that doesn't look like anything.If there is,press it with a sharp pencil or something just as small.If not,it's just the nature of the beast.I have a radio which slows down over time...and it's a BOSE wave radio and have to adjust periodically!That's about all you can do is deal with it.Sorry if you can't fix it. Good luck!

Wrong time on Emerson Smart Set clock

This is a problem with the clocks tuning crystal. Digital clocks have a crystal that is tuned to run at a certain frequency to keep the clock working correctly. These clocks have a problem with that crystal keeping the frequency locked at the correct working frequency. This problem will sometimes cause the clocks to run fast due to a running frequency higher than the regulated frequency and sometime slow due to a running frequency running lower than the regulated frequency. The only way to fix this problem is to either adjust the crystals frequency to the correct frequency and lock it. Or change the crystal. Both these types of service require tools and test equipment to fix the problem. This is usually best handled by a service center. The Emerson customer support telephone number is 1-800-898-9020. Give them the make and model number of your clock radio and ask them for assistance. I hope this information helps you with your problem.

Hold the 'Clock' button until the display flashes. It will first show the year, next press on 'Clock' with show the month, then the day, then the time. Use + and - to set your time and press 'Clock' again.

Don't expect this clock to set the time by itself. It is not an atomic clock.

HOUR: Press and hold the DST button for 7 seconds until the Hour digit flashes. Use the PLUS and MINUS buttons to set the Hour. Press and release the DST button to move to the Minutes.
MINUTES: The Minutes will be flashing. Use the PLUS and MINUS buttons to set the Minutes. Press and release the DST button to move to the Month.
MONTH:The Month will be flashing. Use the PLUS and MINUS buttons to set the Month. Press and release the DST button to move to the Date.
DATE: TheDate will be flashing. Use the PLUS and MINUS buttons to set the Date. Press and release the DST button to move to the Year.
YEAR: The Year will be flashing. Use the PLUS and MINUS buttons to set the Year. Press and release the DST button to secure the setting in the memory.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME: ON is the default position. If your area does not observe DST changes, then press and release the DST button on the top of the clock, the press the PLUS button to turn DST off.
