I'm sure some radio controlled watches and clocks set themselves in the early hours, something like 2 or 3 o'clock. Leave it near a window tonight and see what happens. Also I haven't checked but I'm sure the instructions will be on the RNIB's product page and may tell you about this.

Thank you Ted for that advice. It might have got left near the TV but won't now.Eleanor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Martin" <tedmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 3:06 PMSubject: [access-uk] Re: Talking Alarm clock from RNIB and Easy to See Wall Clock from RNIBThey will probably set themselves in the early hours of the morning. That's what my watch does, at 3 am. Just one tip, don't leave them close to a computer, TV etc. I left mine next to a radio, and it failed to change when summer time began. Moving it away from the radio, all is well. Ted Eleanor Burke wrote:Hi I purchased both of these items from RNIB. They arrived this morning. I have put in the batteries. At the time of purchase I was told that they would take their time from radio waves or something. In other words I did not have to set the time. It happened automatically. Unfortunately this is not the case and each clock started at 12.00. The one with the speech and large letters is also stuck back on January 1st. I haven't a clue how to set the time or the alarm on either. Can anyone help please? both clocks are silver ones just in case that matters but would at least hellp with knowing which ones I have purchased.
