I recently purchased an Audiovox Clock Radio CR20 from the USA on a visit to that country. I am back in my home country India and started using the clock radio. I find that the clock is not keeping correct time from day one ( It goes slow by 10 to 15 minutes in one hour) . I have already inserted a 9 V battery in the slot and have also attached a converter/step down transformer to the Adapter power plug for converting the local voltage of 230 V @50 Hz to 120V@60 hz, which is the rated voltage of the instument.

Pssst!
Did ya check the voltage input for power? Canada/USA is 110V......

Try audiovox.com usually has spec sheets and manuals free online.

Get a step-down transformer for it. They're common.

USA has a standard house voltage of 120 volts @ 60 hz.
Many other countries use higher voltages and/or 50 hz.
If this is the case your clock got fried by high voltage.

Most of the Radio clocks by RCA are meant to be used with 60Hz AC line. This problem will not go away unles you can get a custom built 60 Hz AC power supply, may prove to be too expensive for the clock.

yeah go to a cellphone repair shop and ask for an open line.

This problem is cause by the difference in the power delivery system in the USA(60HZ) and India (50HZ). The timing function for these type of Clock/Radios depends on the power delivery system. It works like a second hand in a clock or watch. With the (60HZ) you get the perfect match with the 60 seconds to a minute time intervals. In India this timing sequence is thrown off due to the power being only (50HZ). I will give you the information to contact the Emerson customer support web page and the customer support telephone number. They may have a way to make adjustment internally to compensate for the differences. The web page for customer support is[http://www.emersonradio.com/support.htm] The telephone number is 1-800-909-1240. You can call them between the hours of 8am and 4:30 pm Central Time USA. Go to the web site or Give them a call they might be able to help you. I hope this information helps you understand the problem you are having with the power differences and the timing of the Clock/Radio. Thank you for using Fix Ya and have a nice day!

I too purchased an Uniden phone for India. Everything except the caller ID works fine. The caller ID wont work as the technology used in India is different. Try purchasing a FSK to DTMF converter or a separate caller ID box.
