Hi,
I had bought a Sony Digital alarm clock with AM/FM radio from Singapore a couple of years back. After coming home, I set the clock accordingly, it kept good time for 18-20 hours, and after that, it just goes crazy. Either it gains 10-15 minutes in 24-hours or looses the same. I tried it for a couple of days more, but it always gave the wrong time. I checked the same on battery too, still the same story.
I called the Sony guys here in Mumbai, and they told something about the problem of Hz. That digital clocks work on 60Hz in India, and this particular unit had 50Hz. Let me give the exact specs. 230V 50 Hz. Original showroom purchase, with bill warranty everything.
Well if the matter is so that it will work on 60 Hz, then it should at least work properly on the cells. The cells have nothing to do with our electric supply.
The brand new clock is lying somewhere in the dumps in my home, since I can't use it. Do any of our forum members have come across such problem, and have resolved it. Pl let me know.
Thanks and regards
