I bought an EmersonReserach SmartSet Clock Radio years ago that would automatically set the time,day,date, and month upon plugging it in. It would also switch automatically for daylight savings time, a feature I just loved!! However, now that congress passed the ruling that daylight savings time is different the clock doesn't change at the right day of the calendar. Now a clock that I never touched to correct the time I am needing to touch touch 4 different times in order to take into account when daylight savings times ends or begins because the clock looks like it doesn't have an mechanism to override the original programmed dates.
Do you know if there is anything I can do to adjust the programming to this clock to take into account the new dates of daylight savings time?? Thx!
Hello everyone,
I finally found a manual that I hope that it will help you as much as it helped me. It took long enough. Here goes; try this site:

Hello fellow Emerson Research consumers! You might not want to hear the answer, but at least you will know what the deal is ...
Before the government changed DST, there was no reason for one to be able to reprogram the DST date on these clocks - so the pre-2007 alarm clocks are hard fixed and cannot be changed or disabled. Go buy a new alarm clock so you don't have to deal with the hassle every year - I missed an important appointment because of it and would much rather have paid $20 for a new alarm clock which I will be doing this week! Better late than never.
After the government changed DST Emerson added a user feature to be able to change the weeks on the newer clock radios which you can find some support for on the web (basically holding the Month/Date button and either the Alarm 1 or 2 buttons, plus pressing + or - to change, but look up the official instructions for your model). If the serial number of your model begins with a 7 or an 8, you can probably reprogram the DST week.
Hope this helped!!

Here's a fix, it may not work on all models and you need to re-do it every time you change the lithium battery.

How do I change the time to accomodate the new dates of daylight savings time? The model on the bottom of my clock is model # CKS 1862.
Posted on Nov 03, 2008
I had the same problem, I just changed the time zone, by one. When my clock changes in April, I'll change it back to the correct time zone.

My clock will not automatically reset the time. The clock is 24 minute late or behind. How can I correct the time. The clock is 10 years old.
Thank you for your help.

How do I set the alarm on my emerson research alarm clock???
Posted on Aug 11, 2010
I also have the same problem but came up with a fairly simple solution. I almost never look at the date on the radio, so I just changed the date to 7 days in the past. Now it goes off exactly when I need it and I am never late for church.... I did put a short note over the date display to remind me why it reads wrong... anyway.. other than this, it works just fine...

Emersons official solution is to simply change the time zone setting to the next lower or higher depending on the time of year. You would have to do this 4 times a year, but it is easier than manually setting the time.
Posted on Oct 27, 2008
I bought a clock that was supposed to set itself, and compensate for DST. This meant that I went from a standard clock I'd have to adjust twice a year, to one that I didn't have to change at all. Now, Emerson's fix is for me to manually change it 4 times a year? I think if that's my only option, I'll just go back to a standard one I only have to change twice.
Thanks for the screwing, Emerson.

I have not tried it yet, but it looks like it will work.

I think Emerson should be made to re-program the clocks. They made the promotion that it does what they claim it does.....now it doesn't so they should be responsable to fix it. I didn't buy the clock from the government because they advertised DST features were available....Emerson did that.....so let Emerson fix the problem or we all boycott them....

I have an Emerson Research clock, Model #CKS 2237, SN 40707887PH. How do you program for daylight saving time in your area? We live in Phoenix AZ and do not have daylight savings here. The dates of daylight savings has changed anyway, but we don't want our clock to change.

My clock radio won't switch to the new Daylight Savings time. BUT it does switch on the old scheduled DST night. It makes it very hard to get to work on time. How do I at least get it to stop switching automaticly?
I have model CKS2237 and cannot even find a button that will allow me to change the time.
I am manually changing the time of clocks, but need to find out if there is a fix so it will automatically change when time changes happen
I have model number cks1862 and my serial number is 41217630ph. I cant figure out which group I fall into.
My clock didn't change with daylight savings time, and now it changed forward another hour after I already manually set it. Also, it says it's Monday when it's Tuesday. I no longer have the user's guide and don't know what time zone I'm in since I moved from New Mexico to Montana nor do I know how to change the day of the week.
After I bought my Emerson clock radio, the dates that we change daylight savings time changed so it no longer does it on the correct weekend. Is it possible to reprogram it so it doesn't do this incorrectly every spring and fall? Now I have to readjust twice in the spring and fall to correct.

I read the first link about how in the 1st sunday, you will need to change your time zone, and manually fix the clock to the hour right? Well I did that, and it wont hit from 2-2:59. At all. If i go down from 3am, it goes to 1:59 and visa versa.
All the time zones programmed into the clock do this. Help?

I have the same problem with my SmartSet Clock Raido Model # CKS2288. It automatically changes to Daylight Savings Time on the first Sunday in April when the rest of the country moves to Daylight Savings on the second Sunday in March. The same problem occurs when we switch back to Standard time. The clock resets itself the last Sunday in October and the rest of the country moves back to Standard Time the first Sunday in November. The clock needs to be reprogrammed or a switch added to manually switch from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time and back again.
I just got up this morning at 4 A.M. because my smart clock reset the time for me and I didn't notice. I loved this clock when I bought it but now instead of having to change the time twice a year as I used to do. I now have to change it four time. That isn't so smart.
im having the same prob every one is. ive tried to get use to it but ive just unpluged it and said to hell with it may i have the new one sent to me for free. i trused in your word

I purchased a smartset radio so that I wouldnt have to worry about switching my clocks twice a year but now i have to switch them 4 times a year. HELP!!!
Hi ... I have that problem also ... I found this link but I haven't tried it out yet.
http://www.emersonradio.com/dst_g2.htm
How do I set my clock for one weekend day and also all weekdays? When I try to set it up for all weekdays and then just one weekend day it won't work for me!
I can find no way to have my clock adjust to the new dates for daylight savings time.
Same problem. Nothing in user manual about changing the pre-set dates for Daylight Savings Time time changes. I called Emerson and they verified that this feature cannot be turned off or changed. Too bad, because we loved the clocks....have 2 of them, but I'm getting tired of preempting their programmed time changes. Now, the FM radio has gone out of one of these clocks. Time for a change (no pun intended)!
i have no idea how to change to daylightsavings time and it is a real problem for me
I just bought a new clock and plugged it in and it went all weird on me and showed some funky numbers. I ended up replacing the battery and it fixed it for one day and now it does not show any numbers. What is the problem?
I have the same problem. How did you fix the dates for the new daylight saving and standard time?
I have searched the internets and have decided the smartset clock is learning deficient! Emerson Research's website tells you to do exactly what you have been doing. A four part time zone change that shouldn't so irritating. The smart clock is dumb and there is no hope for it. Some models can be adjusted but you'll have to go to ER's website to see if you were lucky enough to buy one of the one's that can, I however was not.
I hear ya, I have the same problem with mine. None of Emersons so called solutions work either. These clocks make better fishing weights than alarm clocks!
I have an emerson SmartSet Clock Radio/Alarm, I know that I have had it since 2005, but what I was wanting to know is how to re-set the pre-sets for the Daylight Savings Time? (I know the model number says CKS1850, but I can't find the serial number) Unless this S/N: 409125286PH is the serial number.
I have had to readjust the times on my clock in my room the last 2 years and I am getting sick of it....Can anyone help me?
