Now, the clock will not speak until you re-activate the voice.
To re-activate the voice, press and hold either the talk or set button for 8
seconds. You will hear 4 short beeps to confirm that the voice is re-
activated.
Orientation
- The clock is housed in a disc-shaped case measuring 3.5 inches (9 centimetres) by 1.2 inches (3 centimetres) high.
- Top: Almost the entire top of the clock is a large white circular button 2.75 inches (0.7 centimeters) in diameter. This is the ‘Talk’ button. The button is framed by the black base of the clock providing excellent colour contrast for ease of identification.
- Base: Around the underside edge of the circular black base are four small circular non-slip feet. There is a rectangular battery compartment cover close to the edge of the circular base. Along one long side of the cover is a raised catch which allows the cover to be opened when pressed. With the battery compartment at the top (farthest away from you), to the left and below the battery compartment, there is a round white circular 1.5 cm dial. In the centre of the circle is a raised dot. This is the ‘Mode’ button.
Inserting the Batteries
- It is recommended that you replace the batteries annually, even if the clock is still running. Only use AAA (1.5V) alkaline batteries in this clock. Remove the batteries if the clock is not in use for an extended period.
- This clock is powered by two AAA batteries (not included). Turn the clock over so the base is facing upwards and locate the battery cover. Locate the finger-tip catch on the long side of the battery cover. Using your finger-tip, gently pull the clip and lift the cover away from the body of the clock.
- Insert each battery noting the correct polarity, with the negative (flat) end of each battery positioned against the spring. Once both batteries are inserted, re-attach the battery cover ensuring that the two locating lugs sit into the bottom edge of the battery compartment. Close the cover. You will know when it’s properly locked as you will hear an audible click confirming the cover is correctly fitted.
- Please dispose of used batteries in a responsible manner. For more information please contact your local authority.
Setting the Time

This indicates that the clock has reverted to normal time mode. To re-enter the settings mode, press the ‘Mode’ button and scroll through to your desired setting function and continue.
