Talking Analogue Radio Controlled Clock Instructions.

Button Layout:

Along the top of the unit you will feel a long raised button.  This is the TALKING button.  
On pressing this button once, the clock speaks the time (Hour and Minute).

A second press on the TALKING button and the clock speaks the date (Day, Date and Month).

A third press of this button and the clock will give a spoken reception status check.  
If the reception was successful the clock will say “Time Updated”, and if it has not been successful it will say
 “Time Not Updated”. On the front of the unit you will feel a large round display which houses the dial.

Underneath this are two buttons.  The left hand button called ALARM can be pressed to check the
5 different alarm’s time settings and whether the alarm’s are set to on or off.

The right hand button called ON/OFF is only used when in the setting alarm mode and to scroll through the 
different alarm sounds.  

Turning the unit around so that the front and dial faces away from you, you have 4 more buttons on the back left hand side.  
These are CHIME (top), SET (2nd down), HOUR (+) (3rd down) and MIN (-) (bottom button).  
These buttons are used to set the time/date, alter the hourly report settings. 

Setting the Alarm Time:

To set the alarm time, press the ALARM button to scroll to the alarm you wish you set. 
Once chosen, press the bottom right ON/OFF button to set the alarm to either ON or OFF. 
Use the HOUR (+) and MIN (-) keys on the back of the clock to set the alarm time.
Once the alarm time has been set and the alarm is turned on, use the TALKING button on 
the top of the clock to confirm the settings with an audible confirmation.

Turning the Alarm On / Off:

At anytime the alarms can be either turned on or off. Use the ALARM button to scroll through the alarms and the ON/OFF button 
to turn them either on or off. After changing the status of any alarm, use the TALKING button on the top of the clock to confirm 
the changes. 

Using the Alarm Snooze Function:

To use your alarm snooze function, on hearing the unit “Beep” at the appropriate time, press the  ALARM button once.  
This will automatically put the alarm into snooze mode. Your clock will then repeat the “Beep” of the alarm 5 minutes later.
Your clock can be put into snooze mode for a maximum of 3 times (3 presses of the ALARM button) 

Stopping the Alarm without using Snooze Function:

To stop the alarm and not put the unit into Snooze mode, simply press the TALKING button along the top to silence the alarm. 

Setting Time Signal.

This clock is radio controlled meaning it uses radio signals to update the timekeeping. When you first install the batteries into the 
clock it will immediately start searching for a time signal. The hands on the face of the clock will rotate around until they both 
reach the 12 o clock position where it will then begin to search for a signal. During this time it is best to leave your clock on a 
window sill or somewhere upstairs where the clock will receive a stronger signal. It will usually update around 3am when there 
is less interference. 

When the clock picks up the signal, the hands will quickly spin round to the correct time and the spoken time will be updated as well. 

If the clock fails to pickup a time signal, you can either refit the batteries so the clock auto searches again or you can put the clock
into a manual search mode. To do this, press and hold the HOUR (+) and the MIN (-) keys on the back of the clock simultaneously 
for approximately 1 second. The second hand should stop moving and the clock will sound a beep to indicate it has started to search. 
Once the clock has found a signal the hands will quickly move to display the correct time. 

Manual time setting: 

If the signal reception fails, the time can be set manually. 
Press and hold the SET button until the clock announces “SET TIME”. 
Use the HOUR (+) and MIN (-) keys on the back of the clock to set the time hours and time minutes. 
After setting the time, press the SET button again to enter the “SET YEAR” programme. 
Use the HOUR (+) and MIN (-) keys on the back of the clock to set the chosen year. 
After setting the year, press the SET button again to set the chosen month. 
Use the HOUR (+) and MIN (-) key to select the chosen month. 
Press the SET button again to move on to setting the date.
Use the HOUR (+) and MIN (-) button to scroll through the dates until you reach the one you want. 
Once you have set the time and the date, press the TALKING button on the top of the clock to confirm the settings. 

Volume Adjustment: 

In order to increase/decrease the volume of the clock, you can use the HOUR (+) and MIN (-) to increase or decrease the clocks 
speech volume. 

Backlight:
The backlight is switched on by pressing the SET button on the back of the clock briefly. This will turn the backlight on for 5
seconds before it switches off. 

Hourly Chime:
To enable the hourly chime, use the CHIME button on the back of the clock. With a press of the button the clock will state either 
CHIME ON or CHIME OFF. 

Male/Female Voice: 
Your clock has the option to speak in either a male or a female voice. To change between the two, press and hold the TALKING button 
along the top of the clock for approximately 3 seconds until you hear the time announced in the new voice.
