When I had to change it this time it was no easier. I'm thinking about not changing the clock again and just living with the wrong time for half the year.

Never touched the left button. Don't remember if I had to press the right button several times to activate it; I just played around with the right button only.

After a number of seconds, the blinking stopped.<br /> <br /> Before turning the key off, I again pressed the right button -- and held it for way more than 10 seconds. No blinking occurred. Turning the key OFF, then back to 1, again enabled the "press and hold at least 5 seconds" behavior observed before.<br /> <br /> I'll spend some time later exploring the larger time increments that the manual talks about, and write up a corrected procedure.
