[DeTomaso] Rally clock operation

[Charles McCall]

Thomas - 
Those instructions sound familiar. I think I may have read them in the
owner's manual? But I always had a heck of a time setting the time following
thoseinstruction. 

Try NOT holding both buttons simultaneously. I had much better luck this
year by NOT following those instructions. But Bo didn't invent those
instructions - he got them from somewhere. But I had better luck by only
holding down one button at a time.

Here is the information I got from the previous owner of my car:
---
The red button in the middle toggles between the clocks 2 functions:

1> 24 hour time of day mode

Set the time by pressing and holding the two outside black buttons. 
You'll see a number from 0 - 23 on the left.  While continuing to hold the
right button repeat pressing the left button until the hour is correct (1:00
p.m. MUST be entered as 13).  Release the right button and you'll see a
number from 0-59 on the right.  Press and hold the right button, repeat
pressing the left button until the minutes are correct.

You have now set the clock

2> stopwatch mode.

Pressing and holding the two outside black buttons simultaneously resets the
stopwatch to 00.00.00.00 (hrs.min.sec.tenths).  The right black button
starts/stops the stopwatch.  The left black button toggles the display to
either a)sec.tenths or b)min.sec or c)hrs.min.  When the stopwatch is
running a red led dot will blink.  When the stopwatch is stopped it will
burn solid.  If you stop the stopwatch then restart it will pick up where it
left off unless you reset.
