Hi Joan
If your clock is the one with the camp voice, then I have the instructions,
although they are out of date and refer to the time signal coming from
Rugby. This is what it says about your problem:
6. Setting the time
Plug in the mains plug and switch on the wall socket.
The CLR-1 will then tune into the time signal from the National Physical
Laboratory, the LED display will show 12.00 and will commence flashing.
Important: do not press any of the CLR-1 buttons during this time setting
operation.
Within a few minutes of the CLR-1 receiving the signal it is processed by
the micro chip which automatically sets the display to precisely the correct
time. Further signals every hour constantly regulate and precisely adjust
the time.
If the display fails to set to the correct time within five minutes try
repositioning the unit for better reception. Rotating the unit through 90
degrees may improve reception, as the "Time Trak" signal is picked up by a
ferrite rod antenna inside the CLR-1 .
12
If the CLR-1 still fails to set to the correct time see the note below.
Note: once a month (on the first Tuesday) the Rugby transmitter is
non-operational (for maintenance) for a short period, during which time no
signal is sent out. Your Clock will continue to work normally during this
period and once the transmitter is again operational any deviation will be
corrected.
It is also anticipated that there will be an annual close down of the
transmitter at Rugby during the first two weeks of August, or thereabouts,
with partial resumption of transmission overnight during this period.
Should you have any reason to believe that the transmitter is not sending
(it does close at other times for special maintenance tasks), please
telephone 081 943 6493 (Telex 262344; Fax 081 943 2155) where a recorded
message will advise you whether the signal is being sent.
13
7. Manually setting the time on the
CLR-1
The CLR-1 can also be manually set whilst the display is flashing 12.00 as
below:
1. Press and release the "Set" button
2. Press and release the
"snooze/talk/time/message" button
3. Press and release the "day" button to set
the day
4. Press and release the "hour" button to set the hour
6. Press and release the "time" button
5. Press and release the "min" button to set the minute
14
8. Verifying the time
After the CLR-1 has synchronised itself to the time signal or has been
manually set the time can be verified as below:
1 . Ensure the CLR-1 is in Clock Display mode.
2. Press and release the snooze/talk/time/message" button.
The internal voice chip will then announce correct day and time.
If you want a copy of the instructions, let me know.
Barry

Thanks, Jim and David.
Yes, I had left the clock off, Jim, but it didn't reset. David's mention of
the time setting moving to Cumbria may be the clue here though in fact it
would be nearer my Scottish home. I just remember there are a lot of hills
in Cumbria!
Thanks anyway.
Best wishes,
Joan.

Hi, Folks,
This is a long shot but maybe someone can help me out?
About twelve years ago I bought from RNIB one of those radio alarm
clocks which can be controlled from somewhere in England so that, if the
electricity fails, when the clock works again the time will be automatically
set.
Well, this time it didn't automatically adjust itself and I can't find
the instructions for manually setting it.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this manually?
Best wishes,
Joan.
