Just locate your city on the globe, then slowly move your finger toward the equator. Lightly mark that spot with a pencil point, then align that point with current time on the time ring. Plug in and turn on.

It looks like the globe has a pointer on the side to correctly set the tilt for this time of year. April & August: 12 degrees toward the sun. May & July: 20 degrees. June, full tilt(23.5deg). For winter months, tilt the north pole away from the sun(so it is in shaded part of lit globe) by same amounts.

Remember during Daylight Stupid Time(!) you must set the globe BACK one hour, to correspond with setting clocks ahead one hour.

You can confirm correct adjustment by checking local sunrise or set with your local newspaper.
