You're never going to believe this!After nearly sleeping in because the power went off during the night and the clock didn't set itself, after switching off the power and leaving the clock for ages and still it was at the wrong time, after so many of you gave suggestions and Barry found the instructions - after all that, the dashed thing has reset itself.
So there must have been a shut down for some reason.I'll keep these instructions though, Barry, for the next time it doesn't reset.
I used to think computers were the bane of my existence, but now I think it's all things electrical! (smile).
Best wishes, Joan.----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Hill" <bbinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi JoanIf your clock is the one with the camp voice, then I have the instructions,although they are out of date and refer to the time signal coming from Rugby.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 bythe micro chip which automatically sets the display to precisely the correcttime. 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 day4. Press and release the "hour" button to set the hour6. 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.

David's mention ofthe 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.

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 theelectricity fails, when the clock works again the time will be automaticallyset. 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?
