Daylight Saving Time Help
If your clock did not change correctly, follow this quick checklist before manually resetting it.
Start here: don’t touch the clock yet.
SkyScan atomic clocks are designed to update automatically. In most cases, the best fix is to check the settings, place the clock near a window, and let it receive the signal overnight.
Check DST
Leave DST set to ON unless you live somewhere that does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
Check time zone
Make sure the clock is set to your correct time zone. Wrong time zone settings are a common cause of DST issues.
Arizona exception
If you live in Arizona, DST should usually be OFF, and the time zone should be set to -7.
Use sliding switches
If your clock has switches, slide DST to ON and make sure the time zone switch is correct.
Place near a window
Put the clock near a window with the face pointing toward Colorado. Leave it there overnight.
Try another location
If it still has not updated after several nights, move it to another room, window, or location and try again overnight.
