Default Sony clock radio ICF-C218 no longer taking time from the air? Any help fixing it?

I am not sure what you mean by ULF RF. It is one of those clocks that
you plug in and it grabs the time from the air. The aerial is in the
power cord (supposedly).
Here is the link for the manual:

The time is not taken off the air. Sony program the current time in the
factory, and the end user simply sets the relevent time zone for the
country in use.

I have gone through the troubleshooting and no luck. New battery,
nothing is working.


You need to read the manual and set the time/date yourself!


read http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/2319815111.pdf and it clarifies the
issues with the setting of the clock. (Direct link to manual...)
