How To Reset Clock For Standard Time

Pull the battery out, noting which end is positive, as indicated by the "+" symbol. On the Sharp SPC890 Quartz Analog Atomic Wall Clock, for example, the battery is a single AA cell that slots into a compartment without a cover, so it's readily accessible.

Step 2

Wait five minutes and reinsert the battery, with the correct polarity. On the SPC890, the "+" will be on the right as you look at the compartment. Wait for the clock hands of the analog model or the readout of the digital model to go to 8 a.m.

Tip

Look for a plastic tab above and to the left of the battery compartment. This is called the leverage button. If present, press the button after inserting the battery and hold it down until the hands advance to the correct time, and then release. The clock's radio monitor will still scan for signals to attain perfect accuracy.

Step 3

Repeat this process if your clock doesn't advance correctly during switches from Daylight Savings to Standard time.
