tricky, but kids love it
Ok, so I have the daisy bloom clock for my daughters and the rocketship version for my sons. It's tricky to figure out how to set it but my kids are happy with their clocks now that we've figured it out. I have no idea why people are upset with the batteries--we've been using ours since Christmas and I haven't had to change a battery yet.
1) set time: hold down "time set" button for five seconds, then use up and down arrows to change, and press "time set" button once to toggle between month/day/year/hour/minute. Try it a few times b/c sometimes it just goes to the alarm setting (i don't know why).
2) set alarm: hold down "alarm set" button for 5 seconds, use up and down arrows to change, press "alarm set" button once to toggle between hour/minute. press "time set" button to return to clock
3) turn on/off alarm: press "alarm set" button once, press "up" to turn alarm on and press "up" again to turn alarm off. press "time set" button to return to clock
4) to project the images: push the buttons that read "time" or "image". to focus the image, rotate the cylinder around the lens that projects the image. on the daisy clock, there's a button on top that you can use to flip the projected image of the time upside down. use the dial next to the lens-cylinders to select a different image (you may need to point the cylinders in a different direction to reach the dial)
5) military time: press the "up" button when the time is displayed (not when you're setting the time)
good luck
