How to Set the Clock on a Furrion Radio

To set the clock on a Furrion DV3100, press and hold CLOCK on the remote, set the hour with the VOLUME knob, press the knob to move to minutes, then leave the stereo alone for a few seconds to save the time. A quick press of CLOCK only displays the current time; it does not open clock setup.

Identify Your Furrion Radio and Clock Controls

Check the model number before using a clock-setting sequence. Look for the model number on the front panel, chassis label, or your RV paperwork before trying a sequence meant for another unit.

The DV3100 and DV3100S use the remote-control CLOCK button to enter clock setup. The DV1100 can also enter clock setup from its front-panel CLOCK SET control.

The VOLUME knob does two jobs during clock setup: turning it changes the selected value, while pressing it inward moves between the hour and minute fields. On models with a compatible remote, the remote’s + and – buttons adjust the value, and SEL moves from hours to minutes.

Step 1: Turn On the Stereo and Locate the Remote

1. Turn on the Furrion stereo so its LCD screen is active.
2. Find the remote-control button labeled CLOCK.
3. Aim the remote toward the stereo’s front-panel infrared sensor.

Do not start by turning the VOLUME knob. Outside clock setup, that knob changes listening volume rather than the time.

Step 2: Enter Clock Setup Mode

1. Press and hold CLOCK on the remote.
2. Keep holding it until the clock-setting display appears on the stereo LCD.
3. Release the button only after the display has changed into setup mode.

A brief CLOCK press is only for viewing the time. Holding the button is what tells the DV3100 you want to edit it.

Step 3: Set the Hour

1. Watch the display for the hour field to become active.
2. Rotate the stereo’s VOLUME knob to set the correct hour.
3. If you prefer using the remote, press + or – to adjust the displayed time while clock setup is active.

Compare the displayed time with a known reference before saving. An hour that looks right at noon can be wrong by 12 hours.

Step 4: Move to Minutes and Set Them

1. Push the VOLUME knob inward once to switch from the hour field to the minute field.
2. Turn the VOLUME knob until the correct minute appears.
3. With the remote, press SEL to switch from hours to minutes, then use + or – to adjust the minutes.

Pressing the knob is different from rotating it. If turning the knob continues changing the hour, the unit has not yet moved to the minute field.

Step 5: Save and Check the Time

1. Stop pressing buttons after the minutes are correct.
2. Leave the stereo untouched for a few seconds. The DV3100 saves the clock automatically after inactivity.
3. Press CLOCK once afterward to display the current stored time without reopening setup.

If the displayed time is correct after leaving clock setup, the process is complete.

Set the Clock on Other Furrion Models

Other Furrion models use either CLOCK SET or the remote CLOCK button to adjust hours and minutes, then save after a few seconds.

Furrion DV3100S

The DV3100S uses the same basic remote-based approach as the DV3100: hold CLOCK to enter setup, rotate the VOLUME –/+ knob to set the hour, press the knob to select minutes, and rotate it again to change minutes. The system saves after a few seconds without button activity.

The DV3100S remote can also adjust the selected time value with + and –, while SEL changes the selected field.

Furrion DV1100

On a Furrion DV1100, you can enter clock setup from the stereo itself:

1. Press and hold CLOCK SET on the front of the unit until the clock-setting display appears.
2. Turn the VOLUME knob to adjust the hour.
3. Push the VOLUME knob to select the minutes.
4. Turn the knob to set the minutes.
5. Stop using the controls for a few seconds so the unit can save the setting.

If you have the DV1100 remote, holding CLOCK enters the same clock-setting mode. The remote’s SEL button switches from hours to minutes.

Other Furrion Stereos

Some units have a dedicated CLOCK SET label, while others rely on the remote CLOCK button.

Adjustment controls and display format options can also vary by model.

Fix a Furrion Clock That Will Not Set or Save

The most common problem is entering clock display mode instead of clock-setting mode.

CLOCK Displays the Time but Will Not Edit It

A quick CLOCK press is working correctly if it only reveals the current time. On a DV3100 or DV3100S, hold CLOCK until the LCD changes to the clock-setting display before turning the VOLUME knob or using the remote buttons.

If you never see a setting display, test another remote function, such as volume or source selection. If no remote commands work, replace the remote batteries, aim directly at the stereo’s infrared sensor, and remove any object blocking the sensor.

The Hour Changes but the Minutes Do Not

The stereo is still editing the hour field. Push the VOLUME knob inward once, or press SEL on the remote, to select the minute field. Then turn the knob or use the remote adjustment buttons.

Avoid rapidly pressing multiple controls. A deliberate press to change fields, followed by a turn to change the value, is easier to follow on the small LCD screen.

The Correct Time Returns to the Wrong Time

Set the time again, then stop pressing any controls long enough for the automatic save to occur. Continuing to press buttons can keep the unit in setup rather than letting it finish.

If the clock repeatedly loses its setting after the RV’s power system is switched off or serviced, reset the time after power is restored. If it happens without any power interruption, inspect the unit’s power connections or have the RV audio system checked.

The Remote Is Missing

A DV3100 normally needs its CLOCK-capable remote to enter clock setup. Avoid trying unrelated front-panel buttons or holding the power button, because those controls can change audio settings without opening the clock screen.

For a DV1100, use the front-panel CLOCK SET control instead. Other models may use a remote or a front-panel method.

Check the Clock and Avoid Mix-Ups

A useful final check is to turn the stereo off normally, turn it back on, and view the clock. If the time remains correct, the unit saved the setting successfully.

Keep the remote where it can be found in the RV. The CLOCK button is easy to overlook because it is usually used only after power loss, daylight-saving changes, or a long period in storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the CLOCK button only show the time?

A short press of CLOCK is supposed to display the current clock time. On a Furrion DV3100, press and hold CLOCK until the clock-setting screen appears before attempting to change the hour or minutes.

Can I set a Furrion DV3100 clock without the remote?

Usually, no documented front-panel clock-entry method is provided for the DV3100; its clock setup starts by holding CLOCK on the remote. A Furrion DV1100 is different because it can use the front-panel CLOCK SET button.

How do I reset a Furrion radio clock to the correct time?

On a DV3100, hold CLOCK on the remote, set the hour with the VOLUME knob or remote + and –, press the knob or SEL to select minutes, and then stop pressing controls for a few seconds to save. Check the display afterward to make sure the correct time is shown.

Does a Furrion radio automatically set itself from a radio signal?

The documented DV3100 clock procedure is manual: you enter clock setup, choose the hour and minute, and let the unit save the result. Do not assume it will update itself for daylight-saving time or after a power interruption.
