Thanks for choosing Fixya!

To switch between 12hr and 24hr format:

1) Turn your Wave Radio off
2) Press and hold "Clock Set"
3) Press "On/Off" to switch between 12hr or 24hr format.

I just posted a similar problem and did 2 more minutes of research on this site to figure it out. Hold down the 'cd mode' and press the on/off button. This turns the display on or off.

Hi
I read that if you hold down the Clock Set button and use the volume adjust you can change the display brightness.
Hope this helps with your rpoblem

Push & hold Clock Set Button. While holding, push On/Off button,

Thank You, FixYa Community! Thank you! Thank you! Boy, that one was not obvious.
