Setting the time

To set the time of the master clock, use the HOUR or MINUTE buttons on
the front lower right side of the clock (See Figure 2: Serial Clock—Front
Panel). The HOUR and MINUTE buttons do not operate if the clock is set to
slave mode.
To set the hours, press the HOUR button until the desired number is
displayed. There is no AM/PM option. If the clock is in 12-hour mode, 1-12
will be the only hours displayed. If the clock is in 24-hour mode, 0-23 will
be the hours displayed. Use the 12/24 Hour Switch on the back of the clock
(See Figure 1: Serial Clock—Rear Panel on page 7) to set the clock to either
12-hour or 24-hour mode.
To set the minutes, press the minute button until the desired number is
displayed. Each press of the HOUR or MINUTE button will increase the
number displayed by one. Pressing and holding the HOUR or MINUTE
button down will increase the numbers displayed automatically.

Bright/Dim switch

A bright/dim switch, located on the back of the clock (See Figure 1: Serial
Clock—Rear Panel on page 7), allows you to switch between a bright or a
dim display mode to suit your preference.

Stand alone operation

Clocks not attached to a network must be set to master mode. The time can
be set using the HOUR and MINUTE buttons on the front of the clock.
