Default How to set time on factory radio?

Daylight savings time is ending tonight, clocks need to be set back. How do I set the time on my '99 XJ's factory AM/FM/Cassette radio?

Can't believe I missed that, it was pretty obvious once I saw it


Two (or more) sets of eyes are better than one!

You can also disconnect the battery & reconnect it. The downside is that you have to do it at noon or midnight & you loose your preset radio stations. I did this with a aftermarket radio a few times because I forgot how to access the clock function.

I couldn't figure this out for the longest time either. I use the 3.5mm jack from my casset to aux adapter that I play music from.
