Emerson Cks1900 Doesn't Display Correct Date/time

There are a few possible reasons why your Emerson CKS1900 clock radio might not be displaying the correct date and time.

The clock radio might not be plugged in properly. Make sure that the clock radio is plugged into a working outlet and that the power cord is not damaged.

The clock radio might not have been set up properly. When you first set up the clock radio, it should have automatically set itself to the correct date and time. However, if you have not set it up yet, or if you have reset it, you will need to manually set the date and time.

The clock radio might be experiencing a power outage. If there has been a power outage, the clock radio might have lost its settings. In this case, you will need to manually set the date and time again.

The clock radio might be defective. If you have tried all of the above and the clock radio is still not displaying the correct date and time, it might be defective. In this case, you will need to contact Emerson for a replacement.

To manually set the date and time on your Emerson CKS1900 clock radio, follow these steps:

Press and hold the TIME button for 3 seconds.

Use the SET+ or SET- buttons to adjust the year, month, day, and time.

Press the TIME button to save your changes.

If you are still having trouble setting the date and time on your Emerson CKS1900 clock radio, you can contact Emerson customer support for assistance.

It is caused as a result of memory loss. Resetting The Clock After A Total Memory Loss, If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time after you see the warning indicator, the lithium battery may become exhaustedand will no longer be able to supply back up power to the Smart Set internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery is exhausted or if a power interruption occurs, the Smart Set memory will be lost and the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored. Be sure to install a fresh lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the clock will need to be reset each time the power is interrupted. The initial default setting is "12:00 AM, Sunday , January 1st (1. 1), 2017".If you notice that the time on your SmartSet clock radio is completely incorrect, and the DAY OF WEEK indicator is also wrong, press the MONTH/DATE button to see the date.If the date display is showing "1. 1" (January 1st), you probably experienced a total memory loss.To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:

1 .) Follow the instructions on page 10,11 of the user manual below and install a new CR2032 lithium battery in the battery compartment.

2.) Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.

3.) Depress the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together. The display will change from 'Time' to 'Year'.While holding in the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons, press the SET +button to set the display to the correct year, then release the buttons.

4.) Depress the MONTH/DATE button. The display will change from 'Time' to 'Month/Date' (MM/DD).While holding in the MONTH/DATE button, press the SET +button to set the display to the correct Month and Date. The DAY OF WEEK indicator will change automatically as you adjust the Month/Date settings. When the correct Month and Date appear on the display, release the buttons.

5.) Depress the TIME button and the SET +button to set the display to the correct Time. Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to 'AM' or 'PM' by observing the AM indicator.

6.) After you set the Time, re confirm that the Day, and Month/Date displays are still correct. Make final adjustments if necessary.The SmartSet clock memory is now reset and the new lithium battery will maintainit for the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the number and duration of the power outages you experience.After resetting the clock, don't forget to reset your wake up times and alarm mode settings, and sleep timer settings as well
