Hello
I've Seth Thomas Grandfather 46978 clocks' user manual with me. But I don't know how to send it to you. It is in PDF format. The newly hoilsted Fixya site has no facilty to send the manuals to users I thinks. I can't see it nowhere in this iste. OK.

Hi lufberg,

I see you need help with your radio controlled clock.

Place your Seth Thomas atomic clock face-down on a table or desk and locate a series of buttons labeled "PST," "MST," "CST" and "EST" on the back of the clock. Press the appropriate button to set the time zone.

Turn your attention to the small lithium battery-powered digital clock display on the back of your clock. With the correct time zone set, the digital display should accurately reflect the current local time.

Locate the AA battery compartment on the back of your clock. Put two new AA batteries into your clock's battery compartment.

Set the "Mode" switch on the back of your Seth Thomas atomic clock to "Run." Wait for it to adjust to the correct time. The automatic time-adjustment process can take up to 45 minutes, but is usually completed much sooner.

My father in-law helped me put it together since he initially put it together 7 years ago.
