Can anyone tell me the secret of how to reset a ZEON TECH MSF radio-
controlled clock after removing the hands to lubricate a sticky
mechanism and then replacing them?

Maybe Zeon can? http://www.zeonltd.co.uk

When first purchased, the fitting of the AA battery caused the clock
to motor round until it eventually displayed the correct time, but
when I now power it up it does that again but the final time displayed
is inaccurate. This is obviously because I don't know what time the
mechanism thinks it is and therefore cannot put the hands back in the
correct places.

Power it up and let it run for a few days so you're sure it has acquired
the radio signal. Then, look at another radio-controlled clock, take
the hands off of the Zeon, and reposition them at the correct time.
