Following are the instructions for the RP5610 which looks very similar to the 4801A (that I also have). The only difference in the instructions is that the 4801A doesn't have a clock icon, just press the SET button until the center colon dots are flashing, Press the rewind or fast forward arrows on the circle next to it to set the time. Set the alarms by pressing the set button until bell 1 or 2 is displayed. Nap is also set with the set button - not sure how to stop it yet.

To set the clock:

1. Press the SET button until the clock icon is displayed (circle with hands at 10 and 2)
2. Press |<< REV or >>| FWD to set the time.
3. AM or PM icon will show besides the time.
