One of the residents in a retirement home has an ultronic clock with a stylus tucked into the back. He can't set it and neither can I. I was wondering if there were instructions somewhere in computer land that could help us. There is a reset button but that doesn't help either. It uses 2 AA batteries and I have tried changing them but that doesn't do anything either.
Thanks for any help you can send my way.

Thank you for posting your information. It helped me get those details set on the clock. Now... if I could just understand the weather part of the clock... I would feel completely enthusiastic with this gadget! It came with all kinds of "bumps and scratches" but Time Magazine offered to send me a replacement in a few weeks which was nice to hear. Hopefully by then I know how it all works. Again, thanks for your support!
Setting the Ultronic Clock from Time Magazine with "Mode" Button. Press the "Mode" button to select the YEAR, DATE, or TIME. Now Press and HOLD the "Mode" button (about 2 to 3 seconds). The display will flash. Use the UP or DOWN Botton to set the display to the desired YEAR, DATE, or TIME. Press the "Mode" button again to set your selection. For the next 3 settings, be sure the display IS NOT FLASHING. To change the display from Centigrade to Fahrenheit, just tap the "DOWN" button. The temperature will toggle between degrees C or F. To chage between 12 hour and 24 hour display, press and HOLD the "UP" button (about 2 to 3 seconds). To turn the ALARM On and Off, just tap the UP button. Good Luck.
Thank you. Best instructions here. Needed to get the alarm off.
Thank you so much. Needed to remove alarm & you are only one who listed it. Good job.
The week day calendar is off by one day. I just received mine - Ultronic - no touch screen. Set the numeric month day to 9/27 and the day of week goes to Thursday - NOT Friday.
set the year properly and it should be the correct day of the week. Just set mine that I received from Time mag.
How do you ti.urn off alarm?

I have one of these clocks and my issue is with it is that it will only display military time and Celsius temps. There does not seem to be a way to change this. Mode only lets you change the time but not the displaying versions of either am/pm/military or f/c.
Besides this, it works fine, but I don't care to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or military time to PM at each glance at the clock.
ULTRONIC, silver with black frame covering, 5" x 5" inches, .75 inches thick. Back buttons read l to r: MODE, UP, DOWN, SNZ, MAX/MIN. with a little hole that reads above RESET. Stick that shows, Made in China.
thanks for any suggestions, before I throw away.
To change from military time, make sure your clock is displaying the time, then hold down the up button for threee seconds. This will toggle between military and am/pm time. For the temperature, make sure your clock is displaying the time, then press the down button for one second to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celcius.
I have tried you suggestion but it will not work. Please help me
Thanks, triggeronly, I knew that there was some way to do this! Cheers!
In regular mode, press DOWN to switch between Celcius and Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to select AM/PM instead of military time.
To change to AM/PM time instead of military time, press and hold the UP button for three seconds. To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit press the down button.
I have the same unit withthe mode, up, down,snz and max/min buttons . I have no problem with time, date or day of the week but I have no idea how to set or activate the fordcast, temperature trend, humidity or the temerature. Can someone help.
Dave, thanks for the advice in changing to military time, it worked great. I had figured out how to set Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Thank you, Dave. Lost my instruction booklet and you got me changed to AM/PM time and to farenheit temperature.
How do you turn the Alarm "on" and "off"?

I have one of these clocks, It was given to me some years ago as gift from Time for renewing my subscribtion. It is reset by putting your finger on the numeral you want to change, they to be heat sensitive or pressure. I am having trouble changing mine because of daylight savings change. It takes patience. The dates, temperature C or F, year, month and day can all be changed by this method. The reset button makes it so you have to reset all settings. Rich

1.Push the "SET" button for few seconds. Seconds will flash on display.
2.Push the "SET" button second time. Hours will flash on display.
3. With "M-" and "M+" buttons set hours.
4.Push the "SET" button again. Minutes will flash on display.
5. With "M-" and "M+" buttons set minutes.
And continue with all the settings - year, month, day. And push the "SET" button last time. ULTRONIC is ready.
In the clock setting touch and hold on to the minute section of the touch screen until you hear a beep, then change the values by tapping on the appropriate area do the same for the date
.I have just beeen presented with this problem and immediately changed the batteries, (probably not neccessary.) Then I pressed the reset button.
There are squares of different reflectivity around the figures,let's say the "pm"
These squares are pressure sensitive but they take some time to react.If you fiddle about using finger pressure on these squares I feel sure you will be able to work it out and be able to make the neccessary changes. I did not use the stylus but probably the manufacturer intended this Marshminder1.
To change the time from military to standard push the up button. To change from c to f push the down button.

Usually answered in minutes!
All it says on the clock is Ultronic and Made in China. No other writing is visible except for inside it says reset above the reset button.
I have the same problem.
Setting Ultronic clocks is like trying random combinations on a padlock. Quite hopeless. What a stupid product.
I've got the same clock. The only response I can get by using the wand is to change from time mode to date mode but can't reset either. I can touch the temp. icon and get it to change from fahrenheit to celsius. All I use it for now is as a thermometer.
unable to set time or date
if it's a touch screen, set the to the clock setting by touching the clock icon. use the stylus or finger and touch and hold the minutes until you hear a beep then you can increment the numbers by tapping/holding on to the numbers you want to change.
do the same with the date, change it to the date setting and touch and hold on to the last two digits of the year --> you can tap on the corresponding values to be changed.
goodluck
I had the same problem and followed "Guest" instructions. It worked great
I used Guests advice and it worked great. Thanks
Thank you, it works! ;-) Having received it free with a magazine subscription. I had thought it came broken and did not bother to poke around.
I have the exacat same product
I had the same prm..but the help from guest worked..thanks.
can't set ultronic
I have the same product! Thanks for the great directions!
thanks really helped on Ultrasonic clock is there any way to stop the time clock (upper left corner) from blinking?
THANK YOU.....I had the same problem when the time changed and couldn't figure how to reset it!! THanks a million for posting the solution here!
I have the same problem.
Above the display it says ULTRONIC. On the back it says made in China. Remove the battery cover & there is a reset button. There is no model number. A stick probe comes with it. I have no idea how to set any of the features. Time, day, and month are wrong.
I need instructions so I can set an Ultronic clock, made in China, 2 AA batteries and no instructions
svreen too small
Is Ultronic the brand name or the model of the clock?
I don't see at all how to change Celius to Farenheit or military time to standard clock time.. I've held the mode button on the back but that doesn't do anything but change the clock by increasing or decreasing the existing time.
and i have the same problem
