I dropped my battery operated alarm clock: the second hand still works but the alarm doesn't come on at the set time and the hour & minute hands don't "hold" their position - I took the clear front off and discovered that I could move the hands to a more secure place on the center spindle but I discovered during the night that the correct time was no longer showing. I really like this clock b/c it's battery operated and I can hear the alarm (when it worked) plus it has a "night vision" dial that I can see. Any way to fix this clock? It was only about $15 but I can't find another like it.

Travel alarm clocks can have varying instructions, depending on the type of clock you are using. Here are some tips for use that will apply to any alarm clock.

1. Power source
   • Travel alarm clocks will need to have some sort of power source. Depending on the type of alarm clock, it might be battery-powered or it might have a cord that needs to be plugged in. Battery-powered alarm clocks can take mini watch batteries, AAA batteries or sometimes AA batteries. Travel alarm clocks, because of their tiny size, usually have the small batteries that need to be bought from a watch store or a dollar store. Before you leave, make sure you have a working power source and can turn it on.
     
   Changing the time
   • After you reach your final destination, power the alarm clock on. Now you'll need to set the time and date correctly. Check a watch, cell phone or television to get the exact time and locate the buttons or dials on your alarm clock. On some, there will be a "time" or an "hour" button you need to press and hold to activate the alarm time change. While you are holding it down, turn the dial, press the hour button or press the (+) button until you notice a time change. On others, simply pressing the hour or minute button will let you change the time shown.
     
   Setting AM/PM
   • The AM/PM option is critical in setting your alarm clock correctly. Make sure the LCD display on your clock has a light beside the correct AM or PM setting, or look for the letters AM or PM on the display. If you get this wrong, the alarm won't go off in the morning!
     
   Setting alarm time
   • To set the alarm time, look for a button or a switch that says alarm. If there is a switch, move it to the alarm setting. If it is a button, you'll need to hold it down until the time starts flashing, signaling time to change the hours and minutes to the desired alarm time, or hold it down while you press the hours and minutes buttons to reach the alarm time you want.
     
   Turn alarm on
   • Now double-check that your regular and alarm times are correct by switching the switch back and forth again, or by pressing the alarm/time buttons long enough to read the time set. There should be a picture of a bell somewhere on your LCD display showing that the alarm is set to "on." If there isn't, look for the on/off alarm button and move it to the correct position.
     
   Music options
   • The last step is finding the alarm wake-up option. Not all travel alarm clocks have this option, but if yours does there will be a switch or button that lets you choose to wake up by a buzzer, the radio, a CD, or another device.

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.

I hope this will help.

Thank you for choosing Fixya,

Hi Chris, is this the one?




Like most of this type, it should have a button named TIME, and another one named ALARM.
Then there should be one button named HOUR, and another one named MINUTE.

With the radio turned off, press and hold the TIME button, then tap the HOUR button until you reach the current hour, AM or PM.
Release the TIME button.

Press and hold the TIME button again, and tap the MINUTE button until you see the correct minutes.
Release the TIME button.

Now repeat the same operation with the ALARM button, to set the time the buzzer or music should come on.

If you have any further questions please email me.

I can't make out the names of the buttons or functions from my image, so if you need any extra information, please send me a clear image of the top and front of the radio.

Thanks!

Underneath clock there is 4 buttons, 2 of which are marked (m) & (s) and the other 2 buttons marked with arrows for (up) & (down). depending if you have the clock, alarm or date showing press down on the (s) button for about 3 seconds and the hour digit will start flashing, use the (up) & (down) arrows to set your hour. Then press the (s) button again just briefly and the minute digit will flash and use arrow (up) & (down) buttons to set this also. Press the (s) button again and all will stop flashing and Alarm or Time or Date will be set. Hope this helps as i had same problem but figured it all out in about 2 minutes as i couldn't find my manual lol,.

Hold the Timer button then press the Hour / Minute buttons to set the time.

Directions for Resetting the Daylight Savings Time (DST) Start & End Dates on the Emerson Research Smartset Dual Alarm Clock Radio (cks5055s):

• This should work for all Smartsets, but I cannot make the guarantee (and no, I don't have any other directions, sorry)!
• Adjusting the DST Start Date on an Emerson Research Smartset:
  1. Depress & hold the MONTH/DATE and the ALARM1 buttons (at the same time). After 3 seconds the display will show the DST 'start' month, week, and date. It should be alternately showing "4 F" (April and first week week) and "4. 1".
  2. While still holding the MONT/DATE and the ALARM1 buttons, press the DOWN (or "-") button 3 times, until the display is showing "3" (March) and the week as "F2". It should alternately flash "3 F2" and "3. 11".
  3. After this is set, the clock should "automatically" reset itself
• Adjusting the DST End Date on an Emerson Research Smartset:
  1. Depress & hold the MONTH/DATE and the ALARM2 buttons (at the same time). After 3 seconds the display will show the DST 'end' month, week, and date. It should be alternately showing "10 L" (October and last week week) and "10. 28".
  2. While still holding the MONT/DATE and the ALARM1 buttons, press the UP (or "+") button 1 time, until the display is showing "11" (November) and the week as "F". It should alternately flash "11 F" and "11. 4".
  3. After this is set, the clock should "automatically" reset itself

One thing to note, if you ever have to change the lithium backup battery for the Smartset clocks, it will revert back to it's factory defaults and you'll have to go through his all over again.

With the display in normal mode showing the time, date and temperature and with the double dots flashing each second, press the MODE button. The first press will give you the option for setting 12 or 24 hours on the time display. The second press should bring up the setting for the alarm time. Press the SET button once and it flashes the hour for the alarm. Press it again and the minutes for the alarm will show. Pressing the SET button a third time lets you set the number for each musical tone choices for the alarm. A fourth press will ' set' the alarm so the alarm time will show, plus the number representing the ring tone you selected below the alarm time. Normally what you would do next is press MODE again 3 times to return to the ordinary time display. But if you want the alarm off, instead of doing this, press SET a fifth time and this will set the alarm time to 'off' and the display for the alarm will show '-:--' now press MODE 3 times or until you see the ordinary time display with the double dots flashing. You can check the alarm is off by pressing the ALARM button - it should still show '-:--'. The ALARM button is only for showing the alarm time which has been set, not for actually doing the setting. A quicker way, starting from the normal display with the seconds flashing on the time, is to just press the ALARM button once, then press SET 5 times then MODE 3 times.

press time\alarm button three times for min hand and again for hour

The Hour/Minute buttons are on the bottom of the radio. Just press the hour or minute buttons to adjust the regular time. Alarm is the same but you hold the alarm button on top.
