In areas with poor radio signal reception, you may need to set the time and date manually. Refer to the small buttons on the back of the unit.

4. Repeat until all settings are configured. Press SET one last time to exit manual setting mode.

Press the 12/24H button (usually located on the back) to toggle between 12-hour (with AM/PM indicator) and 24-hour time formats.

3. Alarm Setting and Activation
