RESETTING THE CLOCK AFTER A TOTAL MEMORY LOSS
If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time
after you see the ‘flashing’ LOW BATT. warning indicator, the lithium battery may
become exhausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the
SmartSet ® internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after
the battery is exhausted, or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet ® memory
will be lost and the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored. Be sure
to install a fresh lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the clock will
need to be reset each time the power is interrupted.
If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC
power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is
restored.
The initial default setting is “12:00 AM, Saturday, January 1 st (1 1), 2005”.
If you notice that the time on your SmartSet ® clock is completely incorrect, and the
day indicator is also wrong, press the Month/Date buttons to see the date. If the
date display is showing “1 1” (January 1 st ), you probably experienced a total
memory loss.
To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:
1.) Follow the instructions on page 10 and install a new CR2430 lithium battery in
the battery compartment.
2.) Connect the clock to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.
3.) Depress the Time and Month/Date buttons together. The display will change
from ‘time’ to ‘year’.
While holding the Time and Month/Date buttons, press the Up button to set
the display to the correct year, then release the buttons.
4.) Depress the Month/Date button. The display will change from ‘time’ to
‘month/date’ (mm/dd).
While holding the Month/Date button, press the Up or Down buttons to set
the display to the correct month and date. The Day indicator will change
automatically as you adjust the month/date settings. When the correct month
and date appear on the display, release the buttons.
