Clock Time

The RDS Clock Time (CT) feature enables the receiver to be automatically set by the broadcasting station. The default for CT is OFF. In order to enable the CT function, the user must press the following:
1. The ALT button
2. Either the HRS button or the MIN button.

The display will show the current status. Additional depressions of the MIN button toggles through the following clock time states:
1. OFF
2. FIXED
3. AUTO

The display will return to its appropriate contents under either of the following conditions:
^ After 5 seconds of inactivity
^ If the user presses any button other than MIN CT mode selection shall be available during all radio modes in which clock time can be set.

When using CT FIXED, the clock time is updated by the time zone the user defines. If the user defines a time zone which is different from the user's own time zone, the CT will appear to be inaccurate. When using CT AUTO, the clock time is determined by the time zone of the tuned station. When using either CT FIXED or CT AUTO, the clock time will be inaccurate if the station sends the incorrect time.

In order to modify the clock time with CT, set the hours and the minutes in the normal manner. While in the CT FIXED mode, the user selects the appropriate time zone using the HRS button. The HRS button modifies the time zone in 1/2 hour increments. The time zone displayed will be the selected time zone. The display will return to its appropriate contents under either of the following conditions:
^ After 5 seconds have elapsed
^ If the user presses any other key
