How to Set an Amano MJR Time Clock for 2026 Daylight Saving Time
What You Need Before You Start
To adjust the clock, you will need the Amano #700 silver time clock key. Stand in front of the clock so you can watch the display while entering commands. Many businesses still rely on traditional employee time clocks like the Amano MJR series. These machines are reliable, but they require manual adjustment for time and daylight saving changes.
