It depends on the clock, but usually you can hold down the "Time" button until the time display starts flashing, and then use the up and down buttons (probably the brightness or volume buttons, but there are others) to change the currently flashing digit. Press the "Time" button again to set the next changeable item. Note that on certain clocks, you have to turn on the audio system (by pressing the standby/on button or something similar) before you can change the time.

The whole idea behind the radio controlled watch is that you don't set it. You just make sure

it's in a place where it can hear the radio signal from Colorado, and if you wait long enough,

the watch sets itself to the correct date and time.

The transmissions are spaced at 4 times per day, so if the watch hasn't set itself within six hours,

and continues to miss updates, then it's either broke or not receiving the radio signal in the spot

where you have it situated.

The whole idea behind these "radio controlled" and so-called "atomic" clocks is that

you don't set them. They pick up a radio signal with time and date information on it,

and they set themselves. So the first suggestion is: Don't expect it to work in a

lead-lined dungeon underground. Give it a sporting chance to receive a signal, like

perhaps above ground and within sight of a window. (In the US, the facility that

transmits the reference information to these devices is located near Denver CO.)

The next idea to mention is that the process of acquiring the signal is slow. The

clock only listens for the signal a few times a day, and when it hears the signal,

a full time-and-date message takes several minutes to receive.

So we have two main ideas to offer:

1). Install a battery in the clock, then set it on the shelf or hang it on the wall, ignore

it for a while, and give it a day to get organized, acclimated, and accustomed to its new

surroundings.

2). If you still have the manual (instruction book) that came with the clock, then

that gives you something to read while you're waiting for the clock to wake up and

start doing its job.

you put a fresh battery and wait a couple of days until the clock catches the signal.

Strongest signal is near a window facing Boulder Colorado.

How do you set the time on a Daniel Dakota Quartz Westminster Chime mantle clock?

I have a Daniel Dakota westminster chime that chimes only during daylight hours. Original instructions said to set clock to 6:15 p.m. before inserting batteries (hard to tell which is pm or am.) I set the clock to 6:15 and insert the batteries. Then begin to turn the clock to set the correct time. If you clock has chime courtesy, when it reaches the evening and night hours, it will stop chiming on the hour, and will click instead. If you are setting the clock to a daylight hour when it should chime, then stop on the correct time while it is chiming. If it is an evening or night time, then set the correct time when the clock is setting. The worst case scenario is, if the clock is silent during the day, and chiming during the night, advance the time by 12 hours to reach the correct setting.

Why do both hands keep turning on Daniel Dakota radio controlled clock?

Assuming that you're meaning that the clock isn't keeping proper time but instead, both hands are turning at a constant rate, the clock is either defective or it's receiving some other source which is causing the clock to misbehave. One thought is that one of the time set buttons is stuck if it doesn't have a manual adjust knob. If it's a processor controlled clock, you might want to remove the power for awhile and then either plug it back in, or replace the batteries. The removal of power is what's generally called a `hard reset' and should cause the micro to reset itself.

No.A "radio alarm clock" is a radio ... which you can use to lull yourself to sleep ... that has abuilt-in alarm, which you can set to wake you in the morning, either by turning the radioback on, or by blasting you awake with an annoying buzz that will ruin your whole day.A so-called "radio controlled" alarm clock ... sometimes advertised as an "atomic" clock ... isa clock that actually has a radio receiver built into it, which receives the NIST standard timesignals from Fort Collins, Colorado, and automatically keeps itself set to precisely exactlythe correct time.
