Is there any way to set the time without specifying a time zone? Hawaii is out of any zone and the clocks auto corrects to PST and d/lite savings.

The instruction pamphlet specifies only ES, CS, MS, and PS time zones are supported. But, I believe you can manually set the clock and turn off the atomic (WWVB reception). The directions say "In case the Atomic Clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal...the time may be manually set with the Program Menu." If the little satellite icon does not display in the upper left corner you should be able to manually set the time without it constantly auto correcting.

Mine shows standard time (am/pm). I didn't notice a way to turn it into military time, but it may merely be an option.

To change time, hold down the clock button on the left side of the unit until the time flashes. Then enter all "0's" to clear the tiem - mine didn;t cooperate when I used the "clear" function - and enter the correct time. Press the "clock" button, but don't hold it, once you have the time set. My clock loses time now, so don't rely on it to stay accurate over the life of the unit. Check OXO's web site for a manual or email them to send you one. They have been very responsive in the past. Have a great day!

You must have the GPS model, because the GPS setting is overriding your manual entry and matching the date and time the to GPS zone entry # in your settings. To fix - go to your date/time settings / select your Coordinated Universal Time# (UTC), it will be the first option flashing in yellow and it will range from -12 to +14. I live in UT and mine is -6 or -7 depending on DST. Here is a link to look up your UTC # where you live: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones_by_UTC_offset.

Mine set itself when I first plugged it in. It does come with instructions to change the time settings. They are somewhat complicated because you have to set 8 different settings. I had to go through that to change from Daylight savings to Standard time. If you don't have the manual try to get it from the company website. It is too hard to figure out without the manual.

Actually, we ended up sending it back because we could never get the time setting right. Sorry, I don't remember if it announced the day or not.

Since the times are all set manually I would think you will have to reset by hand. We bought ours between time change so we will find out for sure early next month when we "fall back".

This may be a dumb question, but....since this unit uses a 24 hour clock are you maybe setting the time wrong? Such as setting a show that starts at 8 PM to start at 0800 instead of 2000? My unit turns itself on and records my scheduled programs and turns itself off until the next scheduled program.

Yes, it resets everyday at midnight. All trackings. It does have a digital clock. The time is set when you sync up which was nice when it came to changing time for daylight saving time.

Press the Time Zone button to switch between different zones - AST(1), EST(2), MST(3), CST(4), PST(5), AKST (6) & HAST(7) Use 12/24 button on remote to set the clock in preferred format

To the previous responder, the 24 hour clock that this unit uses isn't military time but the way the world properly reads the clock. I prefer it. The 12 hour am/pm method is really abnormal and confusing.

I found a solution that seems to fix the erratic clock. Turn the Auto setting to "off". Then turn Daylight Savings to "off".

Click on the "Settings" icon, then scroll down until you see "Date and time" and click on that, and you should find a section that says "Select time zone." "Automatic date and time" will need to be unchecked to set the time zone.

Set the time and date on the base unit instead of the handset and see if this will correct the day. Columbus Bob

sorry, it's been a while since I set the clock, but I do remember that I had to set the analog clock manually (i.e. set it digitally and have the hands then move automatically to match the digitally set time)...You could also try their customer support, however, at the time I was doing my setting-up, they were surprisingly unknowledgeable about this specific model, as it was new.

We have since changed the shipping rates to Alaska and Hawaii. They should be reset by noon today (PST).
