This is bugging the heck out of me, so I must ask for help.

So I just bought a digital clock radio. I've set up everything (time, date, temp., calendar, alarm, time zone, etc.), yet there is this one setting of which I have no idea what it's for. It goes from -12 to 12, in increments of 1. I looked for it in the manual (thin manual so I've read every word of the pages), but it's not in there. I have no idea what it's for, and I've asked a few others and they didn't know either. Please help if you know!

Repeat: the setting goes from -12 to 12 in increments of 1. What is it for? It's bugging the heck out of me. TIA!

Oh yeah, HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

 

since it is -12 +12 it has to do something with hours ........ but that is all i can guess for now ......

 

Sorry, but that's an incorrect guess. I already set the hour to military time, which is 24-hr, then that -12 to 12 setting comes up after that. Still bugging me.

 

that is weird........i would say just forget about it
it seems like one of those useless features that u will never use ..

 

sounds like it's a setting for your local time in relation to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

 

That is correct! Thanks! Although it's supposed to set it automatically using the atomic clock.

 

 

No, if it's like mine you have to tell it how many hours you are from GMT so it knows the correct time in your time zone. After that it will set itself.

 

Actually, I had to set it to PST and it still asked me for GMT. By default, it's supposed to know that PST is -8 to GMT.

But anyway, thanks for all your responses. Please close this thread! I'm no longer bugged out.
