First of all, you let the referee handle the situation because he's the only person who can do so by rule (2-5-5).

Now, were you set the clock depends upon when you looked at the clock. If you saw the clock at 4.3 when you whistled (i.e., you were facing the clock), then the timer is allowed one second of lag time, and the clock should be set to 3.3 seconds.

If, however, you whistled and then looked up at the clock, the one second lag time, by interpretation, elapsed before you looked at the clock. In this case, the clock should be set to 4.3 seconds because the whistle is interpreted as coming at 5.3 seconds.

Reference: 5.10.1B, 5.10.1B Comment!!!, and 5.10.1D.
