Step 2: Enter Clock Setting Mode
Press and hold the “Clock” button for a few seconds. The clock display will start flashing, indicating that you’ve entered clock setting mode.
Step 3: Set the Hour
Use the arrow keys or number pad (if available) to adjust the current hour. The left arrow key decreases the hour, while the right arrow key increases it.
Step 4: Set the Minutes
Once the hour is set, press the “Clock” button again to move to the minutes. Use the arrow keys or number pad to adjust the current minutes.
Step 5: Select the Time Format
After setting the minutes, press the “Clock” button once more to toggle between the 12-hour and 24-hour format. Choose the format that suits your preference.
Step 6: Exit Clock Setting Mode
Once you’ve set the time and format, press and hold the “Clock” button again to exit clock setting mode. The clock display will stop flashing and show the updated time.
