How to clear the alarms or set to OFF for sharper Image projection clock LM521. Thank you.

I also am looking for a replacement power AC adapter cord for a Sharper Image SI601. I tried a radio shack replacement, and it works about 50% of the time.

Thanks!
Chris

I got to liking the Sharper Image LM521 Digital Clock so much that I finally took the time to figure out how to manually set it-it was that or toss it! The instructions are as follows:
NOTE!!!
AFTER installing fresh batteries, or removing and reinstalling the batteries:
Successively pressing the "SET" button results in steps 1.) to 11.) below, each of which describes the particular/specific LM521 clock function you you can manually set.
HOWEVER, pressing the "SET" button after the clock had been previous set and running, will start the manual clock settings from step "2.)," "SET Offset Hours..." To start from step 1.), remove and reinstall the batteries.

Sharper Image LM521 Digital Clock

PROGRAM/MANUAL SETTING MODE
After inserting the batteries:
The whole LCD screen lights up showing the different settings, etc.
After several seconds, the LCD screen clears and displays:
A flashing antenna
Upper left hand side of the LCD display. USA Time Zone Map
Middle right side of the LCD display (if necessary, to see, remove and reinsert batteries).
WAIT FOR AUTO TIME SET
A flashing antenna
> This indicates the clock is trying to auto set the time according to the WWVB radio/satellite time signal. Set on windowsill for best chance of success.
If it can't detect the signal, mannual setting is required, starting with the time zone.
> Manually set time ONLY if you are absolutely certain the WWVB signal cannot be found. Otherwise any manual time setting will be auto set to the WWVB time when its signal is detected, which may be many hours later.

SET USA Time Zone
1.) Press "SET" -- US time zone
> press "MODE" repeatedly until the desired time zone is reached.
5 = Eastern standard time (default setting)
6 = Central standard time
7 = Mountain standard time
8 = Pacific standard time
9 = Alaskan standard time

SET Offset Hours to Compensate for Satellite Signal
2.) After step 1.) above, press "SET"
A flashing "-7h" (minus 7 hours, default) and flashing USA Time Zone map appear.
This default setting worked just fine in New Mexico, MST, and may also work for your time zone as well.
> Press "MODE" to set from "-0" to "-12h" (minus 0 to 12 hours).
> Set to "-0h" if the satellite time signal set your clock to the correct time for the US time zone you live in.
> Set from "-1h" to "-12" to offset the time set by the satellite signal in case it does not match the time in your time zone. (E.g., 3pm -1h = 2pm.)
> NOTE: The default setting is -7h. If the satellite signal resets the time, say to 9pm, the time displayed will be 2pm (9pm-7h)--but if it should display 5pm instead to match your time zone, then set offset to -4h. Hence, the need to correctly set the offset hours if the -7h default value does not work for you.

SET Daylight Savings Time (DST)
3.) Press "SET" -- DST (Daylight Savings Time)
> Press "MODE" to set ON/OFF

SET Time
4.) Press "SET" (5no = seconds)
"5no" displays, plus flashing bars for seconds (not minutes as it falsely seems).
> Press "MODE" to set from 0 to 60 seconds
5.) Press "SET" (set hours)
> hour bars flash > press "MODE" to set hours
6.) Press "SET" (set minutes)
> minute bars flash > press "MODE" to set minutes

SET Date
7.) Press "SET"
> press "MODE" set year
8.) Press "SET"
> press "MODE" set month
9.) Press "SET"
> press "MODE" set day
SET Week Day
10.) Press "SET"
> press "MODE" set week day, Mom through Sun (Mo is default)

SET Standard (12) / Military (24) Time
11.) Press "SET"
> Press "MODE" set 12/24

CEILING DISPLAY:

SET/ROTATE Ceiling Projected Time/Temp Position
12.) Repeatedly press button with four tiny arrows pointing opposite each other (rightside of "DSPL" button) until the Time/Temperature display on the ceiling is oriented how you want it.

SET Ceiling Projection Brightness, or turn off
13.) Pressing button with sun symbol (leftside of "DSPL" button) cycles ceiling display from off, to brightness levels 1, 2, and 3.

SELECT between Ceiling Projected Time, Temp or Both
14.) Pressing "DISPL" repeatedly cycles between M0 (time), M1 (temperature), M2 (time & temperature auto switch every second or so).

I had the same problem, and found your question here when googling for a solution. I couldn't get it to respond to ANYTHING, and suggestions about "press this or that" proved worthless. I left it alone for two days, and finally it picked up the time (by its internal radio I presume) and now it works again. Two days! So try being patient or do something to help reception.

1. Try pressing the "MODE" button until the time setting flashes.
2. Now press the "2" button (right under the screen) and simply advance the clock past 24:00 and the clock will enter 12 hour mode again.

• Now the time and alarm will be in regular 12 hour time as well automatically.

• If for some reason it is not then just reset the alarm by

1. Pressing "MODE" until the alarm time and icon flashes on the screen.
2. Press "1" to decrease and "2" to increase hours.
3. Press "3" to decrease and "4" to increase
4. Press "5" to select the alarm volume.
5. Press ALM "OFF/ON" to activate/deactivate the alarm.

• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

mcdevito75 here, You can try in search, contact Sharper Image Clocks.

I need help setting the time zone on the sharp atomic clock model #spc364.

When setting-up the time (by pushing the "mode" button), the alarm time set comes up first, followed by the time set.
When setting the proper hour in this mode, simply continue through the military "24 hour" cycle and the second cycle of 24 hours will be in the 12 hour format.
Continue through and finish the mode set-up function and your up and running. --

Hi,

You can just buy a regular AC adapter in any store, just ask for a universal AC adapter to make sure it will fit. (you can try Radio Shack, Walmart etc.)

In a universal AC adapter there are multiple plugs and there's switch to set the volts, just find the right plug that fit you Alarm Clock and make sure you set it to 6V and that's it.

Hope it helps

Daniel

try looking up the manual on the model number you might find it online. I have the maual for this model.

Sorry, no luck with a manual for the GT113, here is the link for the manual for it's replacement, the GT806; http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/productdetails/sku__GT806 Check page 16 - hopefully the process is the same on your model for the alarm - other features are definitely different. Please ask again if this doesn't work. Hope this helps :)
