Hello, I have AKDY 30" hood and I have a problem with digital clock. The clock has behind for a couple hours every day. Please can you help me.

Yep, mine loses time, too. So, I contacted the company and they sent me a new circuit board and control panel. However, the installation seemed so involved that I haven't done it yet. I'm thinking about putting a nice magnet over it. Because, you know, aside from the clock issue, it seems to be a great range hood!

The only way I can display the clock time is to turn the little power switch to off. Somebody else said there was some type of screen saver that reverts back to the clock when listening to the radio. I haven't discovered how to do this yet. It's frustrating not seeing the Clock display while listening to the various stations. Otherwise I love this radio. I think a techie designed the clock rather then talking to regular users.

Mine came displaying 12 hour time, and when I first pressed the button to set it, it switched to 24 hour time. But then about a year later, when I reset it for DST, it switched back to 12 hour time, and nothing I did would switch it back. Sorry I can't help. Somebody is making a fortune off of these clocks, because they have about $5-10 worth of parts in them.

Quite honestly, I set the clock ias in the instructions and c a couple of days it needs setting again. i guess it needs seting in advance of ther outing you qare baout to take and i am not sure itr would even last for that. i do like the battery backup in spite of the clock so I will deal with it but they could fix it if they wanted to.

I bought a different container because I had the same problem as you it would not close. But according to the directions I think your suppose to turn it counter clock wise. But for me it was always to slippery and would never turn so I have up and bought a container.

OK, I just found and changed the AUTO SET and the DST settings. I hope that does the trick. Thanks for the tip!

Not being out at my car right now, you might think I'm not being much help, but look at the buttons on the sides, and play around with them a bit. I, of course, have to change the time by an hour twice a year, and because it tends to run fast, I roll the minutes back a bit about FOUR times a year. And EVERY time, I've forgotten what I did the last. If you play with the "mode" button, and the other one for a few minutes, you'll get it. Honest. Press one until the desired number (month, day, hour or minute) is blinking, then by pressing the other, the number should advance. I hope this helps a bit. Because otherwise, the little clock is very helpful to me, as the clock in my car is broken, and I can't fix it without replacing my whole sound system.

I thought it would be great but I had the same problem that you are having. I set the clock and it would show right time but would not do timer recording at right. The first time I thought it was my mistake but made sure the next time and it still lost it's setting. Finally give up as far as I am concerned it is a pice of junk.

Hold the clock button down and use the preset buttons to set the time. Turn the key and make sure the radio isn't trying to play music. Where it just shows the clock. Hard to explain over text

I have had the same problem with the timers going out I replaced mine with a timer that I purchased at Menards or Walmart or your local hardware store, just make sure the are the same size approx.

Sounds like the radio has a problem. If the station you have set for alarm isn't accessible, the backup alarm 'chime' should have sounded. The fact that the clock is slow also makes me believe the radio is defective. Your question regarding having the time display quickly is a good one - I don't believe you can. It's another little annoyance in the UI that should be fixed.

No, the times are left blank. Even the analog clock is blank. you can write the digital time and the analog time on it with a dry-erase marker.

It's supposed to stay "on" in that example. However, our clock was changing from on to off and vice versa at random times, causing major confusion for everyone. The concept is a good idea but if it doesn't work perfectly, you're worse off. My son was seriously confused that his bunny clock was on at 2am, for example (if he happened to glance at it). And then getting rid of the broken clock was an issue for him. I would skip it and get a digital clock, as we did. My son is 3 and now knows what 7am looks like.

I currently have this speaker and the clock on mine works. My husband is the one that sets all the electronic up but he isn't in town. My advice to you is to contact amazon and tell them what is going on and request a new system. But I will say when I first got it I had a hard time with the clock anyway.

Figured it out!! You have to press the V/S button on the back of the clock. I pressed it once and something like '--5D' displayed (can't remember exactly what it displayed) and now it stays on lit all the time!! :D

I never had this problem. My guess is it's defective or maybe a wiring problem. Sorry, not much help. The hood we installed works and looks great. So, I'm guessing it's a defect of some kind.

Hi the answer to this question is I think, the clock itself doesn't light up, but with a certain amount of light from the dashboard you could see the figures on the clock I hope that helps.
