How do you set a seth thomas radio controlled clock?

Answer 1

1. Simply install batteries and place clock near a wall or window where it can receive a radio station signal. Enable the button labelled "Wave" or DST.

2. You might have to set the time zone. On the top or back of the clock there will be a button with the time zones setting. It may say "PMCE", for Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. I had to hold that button for 5 seconds to advance it to the next time-zone setting, as seen on the front of the clock.

Answer 2

The whole idea behind these "radio controlled" and so-called "atomic" clocks is that

you don't set them. They pick up a radio signal with time and date information on it,

and they set themselves. So the first suggestion is: Don't expect it to work in a

lead-lined dungeon underground. Give it a sporting chance to receive a signal, like

perhaps above ground and within sight of a window. (In the US, the facility that

transmits the reference information to these devices is located near Denver CO.)

The next idea to mention is that the process of acquiring the signal is slow. The

clock only listens for the signal a few times a day, and when it hears the signal,

a full time-and-date message takes several minutes to receive.

So we have two main ideas to offer:

1). Install a battery in the clock, then set it on the shelf or hang it on the wall, ignore

it for a while, and give it a day to get organized, acclimated, and accustomed to its new

surroundings.

2). If you still have the manual (instruction book) that came with the clock, then

that gives you something to read while you're waiting for the clock to wake up and

start doing its job.
