To accept this time, press and hold the hour and minute buttons, at the same time, for another two seconds. If the time is not available from the station, NO UPDAT (update) displays.

RDS time is broadcast once a minute. After tuning to an RDS broadcast station, it could take a few minutes for the time to update.
