Hi,
Can anyone tell me the secret of how to reset a ZEON TECH MSF radio- controlled clock after removing the hands to lubricate a sticky mechanism and then replacing them?
The clock mechanism is marked UTS MSF Radio Control and runs on a single AA cell. When first purchased, the fitting of the AA battery caused the clock to motor round until it eventually displayed the correct time, but when I now power it up it does that again but the final time displayed is inaccurate. This is obviously because I don't know what time the mechanism thinks it is and therefore cannot put the hands back in the correct places. If a small label in the top left hand corner of the mechanism is removed, two pins are visible so I guess that after manufacture the setting of the time must involve fitting the hands to a known time (EXACTLY mid-day maybe ?) and then doing something involving linking the pins but, so far, I have been unable to find the correct way to set, and maintain, an accurate time display.
Any ideas anyone?
