If you unhook your battery lately or because of another reason,if you would like to set the time again it’s very easy to do it.
Look at your stereo very closely,you’ll see the word “clock” below the SCAN/RPT button and above the “6″ button. If you look closely you’ll see little “H”, “M”, and “R” letters below the “4″, “5″, and “6″ buttons. They stand for hours, minutes and reset.

When the radio was off,hold down the SCAN/RPT button with your fingerand then use the “4″ and “5″ buttons to change the hours and minutes respectively. Don’t forget to hold both buttons down at the same time.

When you’re done just release all buttons.That’s all.
