I wonder what kind of plug fits into that rubber-covered port?
The clock I have is my original old one with the rubber cover.
The front got dented in when my wife accidentally, she says,
slammed it in the car door one day when she had it in her coat
pocket. It still works though the volume control is getting
pretty scratchy. Oh wow, I just heard it go off in the other
room! Jim WA6EKS

Phil,
That rubber plug covers up two contacts which have the same
function as the
square button on the clock's top surface. You have an early
version of the
clock, since later versions didn't have that rubber plug.

Jim,
I know the clock has the rubber square hole at one end that I
figured
connected to a computer or something the flash the software but
I wasn't
aware of other words for vocabulary but I would not be
surprised. I can't
remember it saying something other than just its standard
features.
Phil.

Phil, I still have one out of four working Sharp Talking Time
clocks. I used to use them as stop watches when practicing
trumpet but since one gave up, I found a new stop watch from a
Canadian store so don't have to over use my 1 still working
talking time. Have you messed with your clock to get it to play
random tones or say words other than those the clock was
supposed to say? It has a bunch of words on that chip. 73, Jim
