SOURCE: Proton Model RS-420 clock radio lost power back-up

The battery is located on the display circuit board at the front of the unit. It's a bit of a pain to get to.

You'll need to open the case, unplugging the wiring harness plugs so you can take the two halves apart. Next, remove the strip of circuit board at the top where the snooze/alarm and other top button switches are. Then you will be able to get to all of the screws holding the display circuit board to the front of the case. The battery is soldered to the board. I'm not sure what type or voltage it is, but it's probably a single-cell NiCd at 1.2v. I think the best replacement would be a supercapacitor but I need to figure out exactly what the battery is first.

It's a great radio that's worth fixing. If anyone can tell us what the battery is, please post! Mine says "860" on it.

Cheers,

- Phil

SOURCE: I have a ten year old Proton Clock Radio RS-330,

The display itself may not be the problem which may be related to the power supply for it instead. Some technical skills and a decent multimeter is the minimum you should have to determine the source of the problem.

If you are looking for a local service company, you should always post your ZIP code so a tech in your area is likely to respond.

Proton RS-420 clock radio can't get any AM or FM stations but the clock and the alarm work fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
Both AM and FM channels needs aerials to work. Usually the AM aerial is built in, and the FM aerial is a wire that need looping up. But if it was okay that last time you turned it on and you don't have a cat that chews wires, the radio section may have just failed. It is 32 years old. The other thing to check is that the volume control hasn't been turned down to zero.

How do I preset channels on the Nexxtech AM radio Model 1219833?
The most common way to set those buttons is to tune in a station and then press and hold the button down that you want to set it to. It will beep of flash to show you that it has preset.

I can't set the alarm on a Bush dabcr2004/a radio alarm clock
If anyone still has one of these, and is struggling to set the alarm, try this:

For setting the alarm

Press the menu button. Press right arrow button 5 times until you get 'clock' then press select.

You'll see 'set alarm,' press select button again to say yes.

You'll see a display with all the current settings: Alarm 1, the current alarm time and whether it's set for Daily or Once. Pressing the right arrow now advances the hours, the select button moves you on to the minutes, set these with the arrow buttons too.

Select button now moves you to 'Daily' or 'Once' - again you change this with the arrows. Select button moves you on to choose Radio or buzzer (again, you change this with the left/right arrows and press select for your choice).

All settings are done, you can power off now, or I think pressing menu took me out of settings mode and back to radio display.


Turning the alarm on or off:

Press menu, then right arrow 5 times for 'clock.'

Select this and you'll see 'set alarm' - press right arrow button once and you get 'Alarm On/Off.

Now every time you press select, the bell symbol toggles from visible to invisible, visible being 'on.'

You can now press menu to get out of the settings mode.

I cant find an online manual for an audiovox CD alarm clock radio model 1167, and cant figure out how to set the alarm. a link to the actual manual would be great
With the power off, push the alarm 1 button, then push the clock set button. Use the skip & preset buttons to set the hour. Push the clock set button again to change to the minute. Again use the skip & preset buttons to set the minute. Push the clock set button again to set. You will see an alarm clock in the upper left of the screen to show the alarm in now set. To cancel push the alarm button and then the stop/alarm off button.

How do I reset the radio alarm preset on Timex (T307S) Clock Radio
if the radio alarm is still showing the nonexistent 98.5, you would need to reset the radio alarm. Press and hold button 1 (top left hand side) until the display starts blinking. Then press the preset button for 98.1. It should then display 98.1 on your radio alarm. good luck this is the most difficult set of instructions I've seen yet
