2. Initial Time Setting and Radio Wave Reception

After battery installation, the clock will attempt to receive radio waves to set the time automatically. For optimal reception, place the clock near a window. Avoid locations with potential radio interference.

• Optimale Platzierung: Near a window, away from electronic devices.
• Vermeiden: Inside buildings with thick walls, basements, near high-voltage lines, TV towers, train rails, TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, fax machines, construction sites, airports, or areas with significant radio interference. Metal furniture can also obstruct reception.

3. Montageanleitung

The clock comes with hardware for mounting on wood pillars, thick walls, and gypsum board (drywall). Select the appropriate hardware for your wall structure.

• For wood pillars or thick walls, use the provided wood screw.

Bedienungsanleitung

Radio Correction Function

The clock automatically receives radio signals to correct the time. This ensures high accuracy. If radio signals are not received, the clock will maintain time with its internal quartz movement.

Sweep Second Hand

The clock features a smooth, continuous sweep second hand movement, providing a silent operation.

Alarmfunktion

This model includes an alarm function. Refer to the specific controls on the back of the clock for setting and activating the alarm.

Sleep Second Hand

The sleep second hand feature may temporarily stop the second hand during certain periods (e.g., nighttime) to conserve battery life and ensure silent operation. The second hand will resume normal movement when the feature deactivates.

Battery Replacement Notification

When the battery level is low, the second hand will stop at the "12 o'clock" position to indicate that the batteries need to be replaced. Replace both AA batteries promptly to ensure continued accurate operation.

Wartung

Reinigung

Wipe the clock's wooden frame and glass with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish.

Batteriepflege

Replace batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (second hand stopping at 12 o'clock) appears. If the clock will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage.

Fehlerbehebung

• Clock not setting time automatically:
  • Ensure the clock is placed in a location with good radio wave reception (e.g., near a window).
  • Check for potential interference sources (large metal objects, electronic devices, thick walls).
  • Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Batterien neu und korrekt eingesetzt sind.
• Clock running slow or fast:
  • If radio wave reception is consistently poor, the clock operates on quartz accuracy. Ensure batteries are fresh.
  • Attempt to manually reset the clock or move it to a location with better reception.
• Second hand stops at 12 o'clock:
  • This indicates low battery power. Replace both AA batteries immediately.
