Radio clock does not set itself
A radio clock usually sets itself. But what can you do if this doesn't work? Below is some advice on how to proceed to resolve the issue.
Radio controlled clocks receive signals to set themselves
As a rule, you do not need to set radio-controlled clocks; this is done by transmitting radio signals that the clock receives. If the reception is disturbed or if there is a defect, the clock cannot set itself.
- You will notice this when the pointer keeps turning and doesn't stop.
- Another symptom can be if the clock tries to set itself again and again but does not succeed.
- Some radio controlled clocks also start to beep continuously to indicate a malfunction.
If you notice any of these symptoms, there are a few steps you can take to ensure that the radio controlled clock sets itself after all.

Actions to be taken if the clock does not set
- Radio clocks work with batteries. If these are defective or empty, the radio clock may suddenly "spin". So remove the old batteries and insert new batteries. Then wait a few minutes. The clock will normally reset itself now.
- If the batteries are still good, try to take them out and put them back in again. This creates a kind of "reset effect" through which the clock tries to reset itself.
- If this does not work either, the watch may not receive a radio signal, which is very unlikely and happens quite rarely. But this is also possible. So try to set the clock to work somewhere else - perhaps in a different room.
- If this doesn't work either, the watch is probably defective. The only thing that will help here is a repair - or, if it is not worthwhile, a new purchase.
