Clock adjust in chrono pak

hi
with the time change coming up i glanced at my clock and saw that it was a few minutes off.
I consulted the manual and begin to try to adjust.
no luck.
I think i adjusted it when i bought the car last year and put it on 24 hour time,
but now no change.
All it does it cycle between the time and the trip odometer mileage.
what i am forgetting to do?
thanks in advance

Hold down the button that cycles the clock and trip obometer for a couple seconds.
The hours should start blinking, click until you reach the hour you want.
Wait a few seconds, then the minutes should start blinking.
Press until you reach your desired minutes and then wait for it to stop blinking.

It has been a few months since I've touched my clock, but I think that's how you do it.

Is that method correct for non-chrono too? I've tried holding that button down for at least 15 seconds with no result.

They say to hold the button for 10 sec, it's more than that (and seems like forever) but it works on my chrono... just hold the button until your finger hurts, then count to 10...

hhmmm
still no luck,
i hold for about 10 sec and i get to the 12/24 option and it cycles back and forth, but i never get the oportunity to change time,
maybe a battery cycle?
remove positive cable for 10 seconds??
thanks

Once you get the option for 12/24, stop pushing the button - in a few seconds the hours will be displayed. Leave the button alone and the minutes will be displayed ( at this point pushing the button will change the minutes). The procedure is exactly the same for chrono and non-chrono cars (I have one of each).

and then the minutes flashed to change,
