Your new calendar clock will arrive without batteries. The first thing you need to do is unscrew the battery compartment door, and place 2 AAA batteries inside. You will find the battery compartment on the underside of the clock, and the screw is right near the rim of the clock between two of the rubber feet. You will need a small Phillips or star-head screw driver to accomplish this.
The set button is located between the two rubber feet counter-clockwise (or 45 degrees) from the battery compartment. You can press the indented Set button with the head of your small screw driver, the tip of a pen, a Braille stylus ... anything that's reasonably thin.
Each time you press the Set button, a new choice is selected. Use the large Talk button on the top of the clock to cycle through the choices. For instance, to set the current Hour to 9 AM, press the Set button, and Set Hour is heard. Press the Talk button until 9 AM is heard. Repeat this procedure to set Minute, Year, Month, Date, Alarm Hour, Alarm Minute, and Alarm On-Off. A final press of the Set button (or a 5-second timeout) returns the clock to normal Mode, at which point a single beep is heard.
Now that your new clock is all set up, flip it right-side-up and set it on its sturdy rubber feet. Press it once to hear the time, or twice to hear the date. That's it!
