Clock Time

The RDS clock time (CT) feature enables the broadcasting station to automatically set the receiver. The default for the CT is off. In order to enable the CT function, press the ALT, then either the HRS button or the MIN button. The display shows the current status. An additional press of the MIN button toggles through the following clock time states:
^ OFF
^ FIXED
^ AUTO

The display returns to the appropriate contents under the following conditions:
^ After 5 seconds
^ If any other key is depressed except the MIN key

The CT mode selection is available during all of the radio modes in which you may set the clock time.

When using CT FIXED, the clock time updates according to the time zone the user defines. If the user defines a different time zone than the zone the vehicle is currently in, the CT seems inaccurate. When in the CT auto mode, the tuned station's time zone determines the clock time. When in either the CT FIXED or the CT AUTO mode, the clock time is inaccurate if the station sends the incorrect time.

In order to modify the clock time with CT OFF, set the hours and minutes in the normal manner. While in the CT FIXED mode, select the appropriate time zone using the HRS key. The HRS key modifies the time zone in one-half hour increments. The time zone displayed will be the selected time zone. The display returns to the appropriate contents under the following conditions:
^ After 5 seconds
^ If any other key is pressed
