Why don't the hour digits blink when I press the "Set" button on my BRANDT BCR190 clock radio?
Frequently Asked Questions - 22/02/2026
Response Notice-Facile

According to the user manual for the BRANDT BCR190, the hour digits should blink immediately when you press the SET button once (and not by holding it down). If this does not work, here are the most likely causes and how to resolve them.

Start by checking the power supply: the BCR190 operates on mains power (5V DC) with a CR2032 backup battery. Ensure that the power cable is properly connected to the 5V DC socket at the back of the device and that it is plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. Once powered correctly, the display should show 0:00.

Next, check the condition of the SET button. A stuck, worn, or damaged button will prevent the setting mode from being activated. Try pressing the SET button firmly and gradually several times to ensure it is not mechanically stuck. If the button seems defective or unresponsive, it will require repair.

If the power supply and button are normal, perform a full reset: unplug the device from the electrical outlet for at least 30 to 60 seconds, then plug it back in. This action resets the system and may correct a temporary malfunction of the control circuit. Once plugged back in, check that the display shows 0:00, then try pressing SET once again.

Also, check that the backup battery is in good condition (CR2032). Although the battery primarily serves to retain settings in case of a power outage, a very weak battery can affect the system's behavior. You can test it by opening the compartment at the back of the device and ensuring it is properly inserted with the positive polarity facing up.

If after all these checks the SET button still does not activate the blinking of the hour digits with a single press, it is likely that the display circuit or the button itself is defective and requires professional technical intervention or replacement of the device.
