RDS Clock Time
Broadcasters can choose to send clock time information in the RDS data. This information can be used to update the clock time on the radio. RDS clock time is broadcast once a minute. To set the clock press the RDS SELECT button. Then press and hold either the HR or MN button. If the broadcaster is sending clock time data the display should show STATION TIME IS xx:xx. If the time is acceptable, simply continue to press and hold the HR or MN button until the display shows TIME UPDATED.
