How do I set my clock on my computer? It says that the time is 6:45PM when it is actually 9:36PM eastern stander time..

My father-in-law and his caregiver had a problem with one of these atomic clocks. They could not figure out how to set the time. I studied it and found the time zone setting on the back. It was very tiny printing and he could not see it. They had set it to Mountain time accidentally. He is eastern. I moved it to Eastern and it took the clock about 10 minutes to completely move around to the correct time. Other than changing the time zone there was no other way to set the time.

Setting The Time, The First Time IMPORTANT: The first time you connect your new SmartSet clock radio to the AC outlet the internal computer will automatically set the time correctly for the Eastern Time Zone, which is the initial default setting. The display will scan for a few seconds and then show the correct Day and Time in the Eastern zone. If you live in the Eastern Time zone, there's nothing else to do. Your clock is set correctly and running. If you do not live in the Eastern Time zone you must change the default zone display to your own zone. You only do this one time and the SmartSet will remember the new default zone setting and will always return to that setting after a power interruption. There are 7 time zones programmed into your SmartSet clock radio as follows: ZONE 1 - Atlantic Time ZONE 2 - Eastern Time (Default Setting) ZONE 3 - Central Time ZONE 4 - Mountain Time ZONE 5 - Pacific Time ZONE 6 - Yukon Time ZONE 7 To c h a n g e t h e d e f a u l t t i m e z o n e d i s p l a y, depress the TIME ZONE button. The number "2" will appear on the display indicating that the default zone is ZONE 2, Eastern Time. Hold theTIMEZONE button and then press either the or buttons your own time zone appears on the display, then release the buttons. The clock display will change to the correct time in the time zone you selected . The clock will always return to the correct time in the zone you selected after every power interruption. http://www.emersonradio.com/resources/owner_manuals/manual_1396274206.pdf
