With the radio and alarms off, press and hold for 3 seconds the Function/Play/Stop button. The time will begin flashing, and you are ready to set it. The Rewind key is also labeled “HOUR”, and pressing this button will ADD one hour to the time. The Fast Forward key is also labeled “MINUTE”, and pressing this button will ADD one minute to the time. I emphasized ADD because there is no subtract button. If you miss the number you want, you have to go all the way around again.
Hope this helps!
