How do I set the time on a RCA USB Charging Clock Radio RC142?

Press the Clock Set button on the top of the clock radio. Press either the forward or reverse (skip) buttons to change the time. Press and hold the button to get the time to change faster. Make sure the AM/PM indicator is correct for the current time. Then press Clock Set or wait 5 seconds without pressing a key to exit the time set mode.

You set the alarm time similarly after pressing Wake Time. Make sure the Wake Mode is set to alarm, radio or CD.

The manual for the clock is available at the RCA site: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/search/?km=RP5605 .

I hope this helps.

Press "set" one time to set alarm one, two times to set alarm 2, and 3 times to set the time using the "tune/time" buttons for forward and backward. If you wait too long to push one of them or stop too long, it will time out and go back to the last setting.

The instruction manual will not help you, because it doesn't address this problem head on.  You're having this problem because the time changed, and the clock has an automatic setting.    As long as the batteries are in the clock and it's plugged up, it automatically computes the time. I just discovered the solution.  Unplug the clock, take out the batteries and WAIT about an hour.  Plug it back up, and the time will flash, allowing you to change the time.  You do this with the button on the top back which says wake up 1 and wake up 2.  Push that button all the way to the right to the setting that looks like a little clock, then press the forward button on the top of the clock to set the correct time.  Then put your batteries in and you're good to go!  (til the time changes again:)  Good luck!    

UNPLUG!!! Wait 15 seconds. Plug in again, CLOCK will flash 12am.
Press "set" button ONCE.
Press Double Back Arrows |<< to go backward from Midnight
or
Press Double Forward Arrows |>> to go forward from Midnight

(Either press-hold the Double Arrows for quick minute-scroll or repeat-press Double Arrow for a slower minute-by-minute change.)
