How to Set Projection Clocks

Projection clocks can provide you with the ability to tell what time it is without having to actually look at the clock. You can lie on your back and look at the ceiling or wall and see the time projected there. Initially setting the time on a projection clock is a simple process.

• Look at your owner’s manual and follow the instructions for using the clock. There are quite a lot of manufacturers of these clocks and they all have instructions on how to set up their clocks.


• Place batteries in the clock if it requires any and most will. You should have a display now and you can proceed with the settings for the clock. This can include a choice of temperature ranges to be projected in Celsius or Fahrenheit (C or F) and a 12 hour or 24 hour format as well.


• Set the current time. This is usually done by using buttons marked ‘hours and minutes’ or simply HR and MN. If you wish to set an alarm that is normally done here by switching to the alarm mode and using the same buttons.


• Place the switch for brightness to its maximum setting to use the projection mode.


• Plug the clock into an electrical source, which will allow the clock to project constantly from that point forward.


• Adjust the clocks projection on the ceiling or wall by moving the clock closer to or further away from where you want the display to be. The clock may have an adjustment built in for this.
