It's been awhile but I think you use the scan-seek and set buttons. Hold set down then push scan for hour and seek for minutes. I think?

With the radio off, press the "set" button. Then press the "scan" button to change the hour and the "seek" button to change the minutes. Once the time is correct press the "set" button once more to change the time.

Is that all? Shouldn't you have to do something with your feet?
