Why is my clock radio not working when I start my truck?

Can a radio controlled clock display the correct time?
If you live in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time (Arizona or Hawaii), make sure that DST is disabled on your radio controlled clock. Not all clocks have this feature, so you might have to select another time zone to make your clock display the correct time when DST is in effect.
Why does the clock reset when the engine is started?
I’ve had this same problem with battery voltage dropping too low when the engine is started and having the clock reset. The cure is a new battery. The ignition switch might be breaking contact to the radio when the ignition key is turned to the START position.
How does a Staiger radio controlled clock work?
Simply insert the battery, press your time zone and then press the flap just above the left side of the battery. Hold until you reach the correct time and then release.

How long does it take for a radio controlled clock to set?
When you turn a radio controlled clock on, it will probably miss the first time code, so it usually takes more than one minute to set itself (sometimes 5 minutes or longer) depending on the signal quality and the receiver design.
Is the clock accurate on all radio stations?
Not all radio stations transmit RDS data. Accuracy of RDS data varies by station, and the clock time is not guaranteed to be accurate. If the clock doesn’t display the current time accurately, or if you don’t want to receive current time through RDS, set Clock Time or CT to OFF, and set the time manually.
