Press the CLOCK BUTTON  for 3 seconds until you hear 
a    "Beep".    You  will  see  that  both  of  Polly’s  eyes  are

day.    Press  the  ALT  BUTTON  (listen  for  a  "beep")  one 
time for each of the hours of the day starting with AM.  If

indicating  that  you  are  in  PM  time.  Press  the  CLOCK 
BUTTON  when  you  have  finished.    You  will  hear  a
