If you have a Howard-Miller 625-236 atomic clock, do you need to change the time zone only or manually set the time?
To set the time zone, press Mode (furthest left on the back of the clock) to get to the Alarm Time Mode. Then press Set (2nd from the left) to change the time zone. Then press Adjust (the middle button) to select the correct time zone. Press Mode again to exit the settings mode. To manually set the time, you need to remove the battery from the clock. Then reinsert the battery after 30+ seconds. Press and hold Set until the hour begins to flash, then press Adjust to change the time. Press and hold to quickly change the hour. Then press Set to change to the minutes and use Adjust to set the current minutes. Repeat this routine to set the seconds, month, date and year. Press Mode to exit to the Time mode.
The manual is available here: http://www.theclockdepot.com/howard-miller-625-236-techtime-operations-manual.pdf .
I hope this helps.

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

I just fooled around with the settings on the back of the clock and now I think I have it. It may or may not work.
SOURCE: How do I adjust the time zone. I set the clock
Take out the batteries, let stand for about 30 sec replace batteries and reset clock, when ask if you want to auto set daylight time "yes", and continue.
SOURCE: AI can't figure out how to set the atomic clock
This clock will set it's self in a 24 hour time frame. You need only set the time zone your in.
If it does not correct it;s self change walls and location in your house.
The transmitter is located in Fort Collins, Colorado. this station transmits the time codes and is best received at night.
Hope this tip helps.

The easiest way to reset it would be to change it to Eastern time - that will give you the correct Central DST.

Place your Seth Thomas atomic clock face-down on a table or desk and locate a series of buttons labeled "PST," "MST," "CST" and "EST" on the back of the clock. Press the appropriate button to set the time zone.
Turn your attention to the small lithium battery-powered digital clock display on the back of your clock. With the correct time zone set, the digital display should accurately reflect the current local time.
Locate the AA battery compartment on the back of your clock. Put two new AA batteries into your clock's battery compartment.
Set the "Mode" switch on the back of your Seth Thomas atomic clock to "Run." Wait for it to adjust to the correct time. The automatic time-adjustment process can take up to 45 minutes, but is usually completed much sooner.
