MERIDIAN Quartz Clock
Operation Instructions

Installation:

Please follow this procedure before setting your clock; if using any of our wall panels, squares or free standing mantle mounts, simply screw into the existing holes the two supplied right angle hangers. These hangers should be screwed in so that there is approximately a 1/2” space left from the panel surface to the top surface of the hanger. On the back of your tide clock you will find two (2) holes that will line up with the mounted right angle hangers.
Align the holes and the hangers and push the clock against the wall. The clock will now be up against the three rubber feet on the back plate and not the rim of the brass case. While still applying pressure against the rubber feet, simply move the clock down so that it seats on the two (2) right angle hangers. If this fit feels to tight, back the hangers off one turn – if too loose, screw the hangers in one turn.
If you are not using one of our panels, use the supplied template to spot the hanger holes on your mounting surface. Using a #50 drill or a 1/16 drill, bore the two hanger holes. Now follow the above instructions for clock mounting. Do not remove decorative screws around the instrument for mounting. Mounting with screws while protective rubber bumpers are in place will cause premature failure.
Note: There is, by design, a small gap between the brass case flange and the mounting surface.

Turn rotating knob on the back of the clock. This will move the “minutes” hand. Rotate hand until the clock is set to the correct time.
Insert a standard AA 1.5volt battery in the battery compartment (+ side first), observing proper polarity.

Important Additional Information:

Your brass case is solid brass A70-30 Holloware quality with a durable lacquer finish. It is in fact a piece of jewelry and should be treated as such. It should be cleaned at least once a week to keep airborne pollutants (dust, etc…) and any moisture from collecting on the case thereby attacking the lacquer. At no time should you use an abrasive cleaner or cloth on the brass case. Simply use a soft cloth or soft paper towel with a mild glass cleaner to wipe the case clean. If your instruments are in a summer home, and you are not able to clean them regularly, simply lay a small cloth or towel across the top two-thirds so that dust cannot settle on the finish.
