In order for your weather radio to work

your weather radio. This is true for any type of NOAA weather

will appear.
Push the select key and 12:00AM
will appear. The 12 will be flashing.
Change the hour by using the up arrow
key or down arrow key on the radio.
The clock is a 12 hour clock so you must move
the hour to PM or AM.

reach the desired time. When you have reached the correct hour,
use the right arrow key on the radio to move to
the minute.
Repeat the process to get to the correct time.
