PENDULUM WALL CLOCK INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING
Carefully unpack all the components.
BATTERIES
This clock requires 3 AA batteries (not included). These should be replaced at
least every 12 months or when the pendulum or chimes stop working correctly.
CHIME
This timepiece plays a Westminster chime melody on the hour and has an
automatic shut-off. The clock does not chime between 10:00 p.m and 6:00 a.m.
To ensure that your clock functions correctly, please follow the time and
chime setting precisely.
The clock will chime during the day and will automatically turn off at night.
-
Pull upwards on the back panel.
-
BEFORE inserting the batteries, set the clock to 6:05 AM.
-
Insert 1 AA battery into the clock battery chamber according to the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols.
-
Insert 2 AA batteries into the chime battery chamber according to the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols. Make sure the batteries are secure in the holder. The clock will chime automatically 6 times.
-
Now turn hands (using the knob) slowly to the present hour (in a clockwise direction).
Remember that the clock started at 6:05 in the morning. If setting at night, for example to 9:20 p.m., the hands should be turned thus: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and then 9:20. The last strike you will hear will be 9 times.
NOTE: When moving hands to the present time the clock will begin chiming. Do not be concerned about this. The last strike you hear after setting the clock at the appointed time will be the correct one. -
When replacing the batteries, remember that all the above must be repeated from point one, and the clock must be started again at 6:05 a.m. Therefore, please keep these instructions as a reminder. By the time the batteries should be replaced, you may have forgotten how to set the clock.
-
To operate without the chimes, remove the two batteries from the chime battery chamber.
-
Never turn clock hands counter clockwise as it will interrupt the chime sequence and damage the clock.
NOTE: When batteries are low, the chimes will not remain coordinated with the time on the clock. When this happens, replace with new batteries and reset the clock as listed above.
SETTING THE PENDULUM
- For transport security, the small black plastic pendulum (B) may be attached to the case (C) to prevent it from swinging.
- At (D) using thumb pressure, push towards your right to release the pendulum and allow it to swing freely.
- Attach main pendulum to black pendulum at (D). The bright side of the pendulum bob faces the front of the clock (Fig E).
- Give main pendulum a push sideways to get it swinging.
