How do I reset time and date on SioScan Atomic Clock? I need Arizona time zone - i.e. no daylight savings time

Hello, AB -

Are you asking for instructions for setting a SioScan atomic clock, also called a SkyScan atomic clock? If so . . .

The information here may prove helpful:

Best wishes.

Radio controlled atomic clock self sets, and self adjusts automatically. This clock is very easy to use!,Daylights Saving Time on/off option; 4 Time Zones - Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern,Folds into smaller size for easy storage and travel; travel pouch included,Automatically sets day, date and time; 2 separate alarms - great for weekends,Sturdy, contemporary construction. Stand folds for easy storage. 2x AAA batteries included; as shipped to U.S. Government and institutions

You need to change the 'Zone' settings on both; the signal from Boulder, CO can't tell where you are, you have to make the correction locally and then they will track the signal accurately as long as they can receive it.

Double click on the clock in lower right of desktop task bar. Change date and time to proper settings and change the time zone if needed. Be sure to check the "Automatically adjust clock for DST" box if you are in a zone that observes Daylight Savings (uncheck for Arizona and Hawaii). Switch to Internet Time tab and change settings. Check Synchronize with an internet time server and click Update Now. If Windows time server is unreachable switch to NIST server; [ time.nist.gov ]. National Institute of Standards and Technology is the federal technology agency that works with industry to develop and apply technology, measurements, and standards; much more reliable. If clock and calendar are reset everytime the 'puter is powered off, then you will need to replace the CMOS battery.

The DST schedule is hardwired into the older clocks and cannot be modified to run on the new schedule. If the clock has a DST switch, you can can turn it OFF and reset the clock only twice a year. On my old "ATOMIC" clock, I've set the DST function OFF, and I use the time zone switch for my adjustments. Sorry, but your only other choice is a new clock.

Make sure that the clock is set for the correct time zone and that the DST (Daylight Saving Time) function is ON. Also, although not mentioned in the manuals, these clocks will typically jump and hour ahead or behind when the batteries get weak. Replace your batteries if they are more than a year old.

Hi, your clock radio is an atomic clock radio... no wait you don't need your lead underwear! it receives a signal from the atomic clock and sets the time to match it, after you set the time zone and put it on auto dst you will never have to set the time again!

ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTION EFFECTS:


The Atomic Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, the following circumstances:

• Long transmitting distance.
  
• Nearby mountains and valleys.
  
• Among tall buildings.
  
• Near railway, high voltage cable, etc.
  
• Near freeway, airport, etc.
  
• Near construction site.
  
• Inside concrete buildings.
  
• Near electrical appliances.
  
• Near computers and televisions.
  
• Bad weather locally or electrical storms between you and Colorado.
  
• Inside moving vehicles.
  
• Nearby metallic structures.
  

LOCATION PRECAUTIONS:


This clock receives a radio wave much like a TV or radio. Be sure to locate it near a window or some other location where reception is good. Avoid the following locations, which can interfere with proper reception.




Synchronization signal reception can be received in Continental USA only. In other areas, you can still use this clock by making time settings manually.


QUICKSTART

1. Place your clock in a location with optimal signal marks on the LCD.
   
2. It is recommended to put the clock near a window. Please move the clock to another location if difficulty in signal reception or unstable signal marks is encountered.
   

Installation
Simply plug the SkyScan clock radio into any household outlet.


Battery Back-up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with alarm time memory that can be powered with a 9-volt battery (not included).When normal household power is interrupted, or the AC cord is unplugged, the battery will power the clock to keep track of the time and set alarm. When the backup battery activates, the LCD backlight is off, however, the functions of alarm and radio still operate.


To Install the Battery

1. Remove the battery cover at the bottom of the case.
   
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to the connector plug.
   
3. Insert the battery in the compartment and replace the cover.
   

Note: An Alkaline battery is recommended. Carbon Zinc and rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries not recommended.

Set the Time Zone Press the SET button in sequence until you see PST(Pacific Standard Time)blinking below the time digits on the LCD. Press UP or DOWN button to select your time zone.


Daylight Savings Time
Always slide the DST switch to ON position unless the clock is used in an area without Daylight Savings Time.
**Special attention to usage in Arizona and Indiana. **Arizona and parts of Indiana do not recognize Daylight Savings Time (DST). Turn the DST off if the clock is used in these areas.

Cheers!

how do I change my atomic clock to eastern time zone. Or when I set my time does it automatically set to the correct time zone.

I have misplaced the manual for my sharp Atomic clock, need to reset the time zone and shut off the alarm. How can I obtain a new manual?

so long as the US atomic clock adjusts their daylight saving times then you should be fine check this link for some more details (about the scr 110 but seems to be basically the same) http://www.amazon.com/H-H-Scott-SCR110-Atomic-Clock/dp/B00004TZDN/ref=sr_1_2/104-1966292-9407907?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1173502881&sr=1-2 hope this helps :)
