How to set the clock clock gains time how to correct

To correct the time on your Sharp Atomic clock, you will need to reset the time zone. To do this, press and hold the "Time Zone" button for 3 seconds until the time zone flashes. Then, press the "Hour" and "Minute" buttons to adjust the time zone to the correct time zone. Once the time zone is set, press the "Time Zone" button again to save the settings. The clock should now be displaying the correct time.

There is no fix or repair. Unfortunately it is a disposable item

Question edited for clarity. Category moved to Clocks - Home.

Quartz digital clocks normally have no method of adjustment. The most likely reason it is gaining now is a failing capacitor or resistor. A voltage is applied to a quartz crystal and the electrical vibrations from it are translated into time. This article suggests there may be a 'trimmer pot' inside. They look like a short 1/4" block, or a circular device with a Bakelite screw slot in the middle. The need VERY small changes.

It you really want accuracy, buy a new Atomic Clock that is set automatically via a Time Server.

These are general quartz wall clock instructions as I dont know enough about what type/style of clock you have.

Open the access door to the dial and hands of the clock if required. Some battery-operated clock movements are sealed inside the clock case with a back panel that is screwed in place. To gain access to the hand set knob, remove the back panel screws using the appropriate tipped screwdriver.

Turn the minute hand (or turn the hand set knob at the rear of the movement if access is available) carefully counterclockwise or clockwise until the correct time is reached. Keep in mind that using the hand set from the rear would require turning the knob in a clockwise direction in order for the hands to turn counterclockwise.

Move the hour hand carefully with your fingers near the center of the hand to the hour that the clock is striking if the striking chime is not counting the correct hour. The hour hand is a friction fit hand and will move without engaging the minute hand.

Replace the back panel and tighten the screws with the screwdriver if removal of the back panel was necessary to access the hand set knob.

Close the front access door if required.

Compute the difference in clock-speeds, namely 90 seconds per hour.
Convert the units of time: 30 minutes becomes 180 seconds.
So, divide 180 by 90 to get '2', namely 2 hours after the 6 o'clock "start" time, which makes it 8 PM.











P.S. There is at least one error in the above solution. If you truly understand the solution, make the necessary correction, and submit the corrected "homework" to your teacher.

well if that is an electronic clock this problem might be because of the fact that these clocks use electronic timing circuit which consists of capacitors and resistors which are used to maintain a constant current flow to the timing circuit and if this RC(resistor, Capacitor) combination has some issues the circuit will not function exactly it is meant for and you will either get gain or loss of minutes.

so it is best to see if you can figure it out or just switch the clock.

Set the clock
You must set the clock so that the system announces the correct day and time with any incoming messages. After this, if you subscribe to the caller ID service, the system will update the clock eac h time new call information is received. Press PLAY/STOP to exit at anytime while setting the clock.

1. Press and hold CLOCK until the message window displays C and the default day is announced.
2. To change the day setting, press
MEMO/REPEAT or ANNC/SKIP until the correct day is announced.
3. Press CLOCK. The current hour setting is announced. The correct day setting is saved.
4. To change the hour setting, press
MEMO/REPEAT or ANNC/SKIP until the correct hour is announced.
5. Press CLOCK. The current minute setting is announced. The correct hour setting is saved.
6. To change the minute setting, press
MEMO/REPEAT or ANNC/SKIP until the correct minute setting is announced.
7. Press CLOCK. The cu rrent year is announced. The correct minute setting is saved.
8. To change the year setting, press
MEMO/REPEAT or ANNC/SKIP until the corr ect year is announced.
9. Press and release CLOCK. The new day, time and year are announced. The correct year setting is saved.
To check the clock, press CLOCK.

Did you use the same batteries? try to use new ones... sorry i can't help you more
