Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)
„ To set the internal clock by the RDS time
signal
You can set the internal clock using the RDS time signal (RDS CT data). This is use-
ful because the internal clock is set automatically from the time signal sent by an
RDS station.
Before setting, select one of the 24-hour or 12-hour display as shown on page 12.
1
Tune in to an RDS station (when its name is displayed).
2
Press the DISPLAY MODE button to select CT.
(Example: 11:56 on April 30, 2001)
3
Whilst RDS time is displayed, hold down the CLOCK button for at
least 3 seconds.
"RDS TIME" and "WAITING" will appear alternately. (They will appear in less
than 60 seconds.)
4
After the internal clock has been set, "COMPLETE" will flash for 3
seconds. Then the updated time will be displayed.
Press the CLOCK button to check whether the internal clock is displaying the
same time as the RDS clock.

For 3 seconds
RDS clock time
Notes:
z When the CLOCK button is pressed whilst the RDS time is displayed, the internal
clock is displayed followed by the RDS clock. With this feature, you can compare
the time shown. If you have not yet set the clock display mode, "CLOCK" will
appear.
z Whilst "NO CT" or "CT" is displayed, the internal clock cannot be set.
z If the signal from a station is weak or noisy, you may not be able to set the internal
clock.
Note for clock-time and date mode:
When the DISPLAY MODE button is pressed repeatedly to select CT, the data
(Day-Month-Year) will be displayed for 3 seconds, and then the RDS clock time
display will appear.
The RDS clock time appears with "RDS", so that you will know it is not the internal
clock time.
Notes:
z If you tune in to an RDS station which is not sending clock-time and date (CT data)
and you select CT, "NO CT" will be displayed.
z If you are not receiving CT data, even though you are tuned into an RDS station,
"CT" will be displayed. The CT data is sent at the top of each minute.
z If an RDS signal is weak or noisy, the clock time may be displayed as "- -"
(hyphens) or it may not be displayed correctly.
z You must check the clock's accuracy because the RDS time signal (CT data) may
not be correct, depending on the station.
z The data normally changes at midnight, Greenwich Mean Time (G.M.T.), not local
time.
