I'm interested in possibly buying Sangean RCR22. I have a question about the two alarms.

I have the same issue with my Sangean WFR-28c. I just contacted support (through Sangean Europe site) but im still wating for an answer. If this carries on, i cannot use this radio. :(

Do a factory reset followed by a 5am alarm setup

Mine does that too (chirps 8 times), every 4 to 8 hours or so (seems to be random but persistent). The alarm was installed November 2014 and I just started noticing it in May 2015, possibly because I am now within earshot of where my car is parked?

To set the clock:
1. With the power off, press the TIME button; the time will blink.

2. Press the MINUTE button to set the present minute and the HOUR button to set the present hour.
Make sure to set the correct AM/PM setting.

3 Press the TIME button (or wait approx. 15 seconds) and the time will be set.

To set or reset alarm time:
1. With the power off, press the desired ALARM, Press and hold the desired ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 button; the alarm time will blink. The Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 time and settings will appear.
Press the MINUTE button to set the alarm.

2. Press and hold the desired ALARM 1 or ALARM 2button; the alarm time will blink.
Press the MINUTE button to set the alarm minute and the HOUR button to set the alarm hour. Make sure
to set AM/PM setting. Press the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2button again (or wait approx. 15 seconds).

3. Repeatedly press the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 button to select alarm off, alarm on, for buzzer, radio or CD.

For Super Storm watch:
Click Mode (upper left) button until either current time blinks (1st click) or current alarm time blinks (2nd click).
Immediately (before the blinking stops, approx 3 seconds), click hours (lower left) and minutes (lower right) to set time. When you pause the clicking, time or alarm will be set.

You can get the manual on the link below.

Archer, I have read the entire PR-3DL manual and there appears no mention of a 12/24 hr setting, unlike certain other Sangean radios. The instructions for setting the alarm do not mention 'a.m.' or 'p.m.' .

Apparently, the clock is a 24:XX:XX display only.

You'll need the PIN number.
If you don't know it, you'll have to change it to a 5 digit PIN number you select.

With the fob present, turn IGN switch:
IGNITION-OFF-IGNITION-OFF-IGNITION
Press LEFT turn signal switch 3 TIMES
Press RIGHT turn signal switch 1 TIME and release
Turn signals will flash 3 times. Current PIN will appear in odometer. The first digit will be flashing.

If changing PIN, enter first digit (a) of new PIN by pressing LEFT signal switch (a) time(s) i.e., for the number 1, press one time. for the number 5, press 5 times.

Press RIGHT signal switch 1 TIME and release.
the new digit (a) will replace the current in odometer window.

Enter second digit (b) with LEFT signal switch.

Repeat until PIN is set.

Once PIN is set (either new or old PIN), to disarm security system, DO NOT sit on seat, lift bike off kick stand, or anything else that will activate the security mode!

Turn IGN to IGNITION.

Quickly (within 2 seconds) hold BOTH turn signal switches until confirmation signal (KEY icon flashes at fast rate, in odometer window, a flashing "-" will be followed by 4 more dashes = "----")

Enter 1st digit (a) in PIN by pressing LEFT turn signal switch (a) times (i.e., 5 times for the number 5)
The 1st "-" will become the 1st digit (i.e., "5")

Press RIGHT switch signal 1 TIME.
The 1st digit is stored and the dash will flash.

Enter 2nd digit (b), and repeat sequence until done.

After the 5th digit is entered, the KEY icon stops blinking, and the system is disarmed.

The system will stay off until the IGN switch is turned off.

If at any time during disarming sequence an error is made, wait 2 minutes before trying again.

When creating a new alarm, the LG Shine will start with the "Set Time" function where you can set a 15 minutes alarm jump (by moving the navigation button horizontally). If not desired, you can go one step down onscreen to set the alarm time manually. If you accidentally jump back to the 15 minutes jump method in the previous function, it will automatically postpone the alarmsetting with 15 minutes increments again. Please verify you don't use that function by accident while setting up the alarm time manually. If all of this is not the case, I would suggest to return the phone because there could be a problem with the phone or software.
