Incorrect time fromTVGuide

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.

If you do a Google search on 'Channel Master CM000 PAL manual it will take you to the manual which you can download. You setup the time, etc when running the 'The Wizard'.

Instruction book page E-23. To turn auto receive on or off. In Timekeeping mode press D (Lower right) to display last Signal screen. It should say GET at the bottom and show the last time it updated. (Or ERR) Hold down A until the receiving indicator and current auto receive setting (ON or OFF) start to flash. Press D to toggle auto receive on. A again to end.
If you tried to make it receive manually this will be turned off. If the GET screen said ERR then it did not update and auto receive would still be off. I had to do the manual thing about 20 times before it updated. A upper left C lower left D lower right A upper right (light)

To set up your clock simply install one fresh AA, LR6 ALKALINE battery. Due to the nature of long wave radio signals it is normally not possible to receive a signal during the day so it is best to install the battery late in the evening. Select your time zone by pressing one of the four time zone buttons PT-Pacific Time, MT-Mountain Time, CT-Central Time, ET-Eastern Time. The time zone buttons may be pressed any time after installing the batteries. If multiple buttons are pressed the clock will set to the time zone selected last. If no time zone is selected the clock will default to Pacific Time. Another time zone can be selected during or after the clock has set itself. Your clock can only set itself to one of the four time zones stated above. For time zones outside of PT, MT, CT or ET you must manually set the time using the Manual Time set button on the back of the movement.
When the battery is installed the second hand will advance eight seconds (two seconds per step x four steps). The clock is now searching for a signal. For the initial setting it is recommended to stand the clock in an upright position near a window. Within five minutes the clock will either receive the WWVB signal and set itself to the exact time, or it will determine that the signal is not receivable at its current location and time of day. If a signal is not receivable it will fast-forward the hands to the 4, 8, or 12 o'clock position and search for WWVB each
hour until a signal is received. If the time is manually set the clock will continue to periodically search for a signal and automatically reset the hands when the signal is received.

Setting Time

1 In the Clock priority mode, press and hold

TITLE/ for at least 2 seconds while the time is

displayed.

The time indication will blink.

2 Turn the Rotary encoder (CDE-9846 only) or

press 4 and 3 (CDE-9842 only) to adjust the

hours while the time indication is blinking.

3 When the hour has been adjusted, press the

Rotary encoder (CDE-9846 only) or press MODE

(CDE-9842 only).

4 Turn the Rotary encoder (CDE-9846 only) or

press 4 and 3 (CDE-9842 only) to adjust the

minutes while the time indication is blinking.

The time is automatically set 5 seconds after the minute

adjustment. The time can also be manually set by

pressing the Rotary encoder (CDE-9846 only) or press

MODE (CDE-9842 only).

• To synchronize the clock to another clock/watch or radio time

announcement, press and hold the Rotary encoder (CDE-9846

only) or press and hold MODE (CDE-9842 only) for at least 2

seconds after setting the "hour." Minutes will reset to 00. If the

display shows over "30" minutes when you do this, the time will
advance one hour.

1 In the Clock priority mode, press and hold the DISP/
TITLE button for at least 3 seconds while the time is
displayed. The time indication will blink.
2 Turn the Rotary encoder to adjust the hours while the
time indication is blinking.
3 When the hour has been adjusted, press the Rotary
encoder.
4 Turn the Rotary encoder to adjust the minutes while
the time indication is blinking. The time is automatically
set 5 seconds after the minute adjustment. The time
can also be manually set by pressing the Rotary
encoder.

Have you tried to manually reset the time? I had the same problem. It got the the point where it was almost 20 minutes fast - I finally looked up the manual on-line and found instructions to manually reset it. It seemed to work just fine. I'm not sure if I have the same model as you do, but I'm sure the procedure is similar. I suggest you search the net for your manual.

Hi, I got this from my CDM 9832 owners manual.
Setting Time
1 In the Clock priority mode, press and hold the
DISP button for at least 3 seconds while the
time is displayed. The time indication will blink.
2 Turn the Rotary encoder to adjust the hours
while the time indication is blinking.
3 When the hour has been adjusted, press the
Rotary encoder.
4 Turn the Rotary encoder to adjust the minutes
while the time indication is blinking. The time is
automatically set 5 seconds after the minute
adjustment. The time can also be manually set by
pressing the Rotary encoder.

Time to reload the latest firmware.

Then go to MENU>>VIEW>>SETTINGS and go down PAST the diagnostics menu to a hidden menu called date and time and fix the problem.

Hi

Time zone setting
Language Setting
The weekdays can be displayed in LCD1 with the pre-set languages: US English, French and Spanish.
1. Set the desired language for the weekday display in LCD 2 by use of the + key.
2. Press the SET key to enter the mode “Manual Time Setting”.
Manual Time Setting
In case the Skyscan Atomic Clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock.
Note:
In 12 hours mode the time will be displayed with an additional “PM” for the time from 12:00 noon until 11:59.
1. The hour digits will start flashing on LCD1. Set the desired hours by pressing the +key followed by pressing the SET key.
2. Now the minute digits will start flashing. Set the desired minutes by pressing the +key . If the + key is held, the units will increase by 5.
3. Press the SET key to move to the “Year Setting”.
Note:
The unit will still try and receive the signal every day despite it being manually set. When it does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time into the received time. During reception attempts the WWVB tower icon will flash. If reception has been unsuccessful, then the WWVB tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted the following hour.
WWVB time reception takes place from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB reception every full hour within this time frame). When the time signal is received for example at 1:00 am, the Skyscan Atomic Clock will not attempt to receive the WWVB signal for the remaining hours until 6:00 am. Therefore, the next signal attempt will take place between 12:00 am and 6:00 am the next day. The other times WWVB reception takes place, are upon setup and after manual time set exiting mode. Reception is generally not possible during daylight hours due to the interference of the sun.

Thank you
