Clock
&
Timer Operation
The FRG-100 has two independently program-
12/24
Hour Format
mable clocks. One can be set to local time, the other
can be adjusted to GMT,
UTC
or any time zone you
desire. A handy World Time Zone reference card is
included with your radio, showing international
time on one side, and contains a receiver key/func-
tion reference on the other. It is located in a conven-
ient slide-out slot on the bottom panel of the
receiver. Each clock can be set for 12724 hour dis-
play format. In addition, an hourly beep annuncia-
tor (similar to that heard on broadcast and news
stations) can be set remind you of the time, every
hour, on-the-hour.
To set the clocks, perform the following steps.

back to the last VFO or memory frequency.
Note: you can press the SET key while listening
to a time station such as WWV in the back-
ground and synchronize your FRG-100's clock
with the station's time.
To display the time from VFO or Memory op-
eration, momentarily press CLOCK, and then
SEL
to choose which time you want to view (SEL will
also toggle the display when the radio is turned
Off). Tuning is still possible, however, the display
will remain on the selected clock (even if you turn
off the radio and power-on again) until you press
either VFOIMEM or CLOCK to return to previous
operation.
Clock displays are normally in 24-hour format,
however, this can be changed to 12-hour format by
pressing and holding the CLOCK key while power-
ing on the radio. The time display will be accompa-
nied on the right by an
"!?"

Default Display
The FRG-100 normally displays the received
frequency until some other feature (such as a clock
or programming function) is selected, then is re-
turned to normal. This default setting can be
changed so that a selected clock will normally be
displayed if no other controls are touched. Tuning
(using the main knob or UP A DOWN V
key) or
selecting a new mode will cause the display to
momentarily revert to the frequency, after which it
will return to the clock display.
To select the alternate default display, press and
hold the VFOIMEM key while turning on the radio,
then select the time you wish displayed by press-
ing CLOCK (and SEL).
To return to the normal display, repeat the
above step.
LCD Backlighting
With the radio turned OFF, the LCD backlight
can be turned on momentarily by pressing the
DIM button. The LCD will illuminate for ap-
proximately 4 seconds, then go off. It's bright-
ness is determined by the
DIM
button setting
when the radio was turned on. If you want
continuous LCD backlighting, press and hold
the
DIM
key while powering on the radio.
Afterwards, when the DIM key is pressed with
the radio turned off, the backlight will stay on
continuously (until
DIM is pressed again to
turn it off).
