Hi Eleanor. OK, on the back of the clock in a recessed area, you should find a button and a switch. Place the clock near a window and press the button. The clock will beep and begin searching for a signal and setting the time automatically for you Give it 15 minutes and the clock should be fully set correctly with both time and date. As for the hourly report function, this clock only reports the hour on the hour between 8 in the morning and 10 at night, what it calls sociable hours. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor Burke To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 12:16 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking Alarm clock from RNIB and Easy to See Wall Clock from RNIB Yes Ibrahim font of all knowledge. You are correct. If you can tell me anythng off list about setting it in terms of alarm etc I would appreciate it. It did eventually set itself and started to announce the hour but I have notjiced that it seems to have stopped doing that aafter 9.00pm. Maybe it has gone to sleep!!! I wonder about setting the date too. Many thanks for taking the trouble to respond to me.

Is the one you have with speech got a large face, dotted bar on the top for getting the time and a two-button control under the face? All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor Burke To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 3:31 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking Alarm clock from RNIB and Easy to See Wall Clock from RNIB I will find that out Barbra. At least the time set on the one that has the large print only and not the speech. The one with speech and print letters is still at January 1 and the time did not set. I think maybe I have to set that myself.

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.
