Questions and answers
Randomly blinks then changes the time read out
The Timex T231 may randomly blink and change the time readout because time and alarm adjustments must be made while the display is flashing. If no adjustments are made for approximately 10 seconds, the display stops flashing, and settings cannot be adjusted. If this occurs, the time and alarm setting procedure must be restarted.

Mr. Anderson The red lights came back on the buzzer and the radio after I did what your suggested.
When I try to change the time the preset numbers show up. How can I eliminate the preset buttons?
The Timex T231 manual does not mention eliminating preset buttons when changing the time. However, to adjust the time, you must make changes while the display is flashing. If no adjustments are made for about 10 seconds, the display stops flashing, and you must restart the time-setting process.
