1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of your Robotime ROKR Romantic Notes Wall Clock (Model LC701). This 3D wooden puzzle kit is designed to create a functional wall clock with a unique aesthetic. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning assembly.
2. Package Contents
Before starting assembly, verify that all components are present. The package should contain:
- Plywood sheets with 231 pre-cut wooden pieces
- English instruction manual
- Quartz clock movement
- Other necessary accessories (e.g., clock hands, pendulum components, small tools)
Note: Glue and wax are NOT included in the package due to international shipping restrictions. Please prepare these items yourself before starting assembly.
3. Assembly Instructions
The assembly process typically takes approximately 4 hours. It is recommended for individuals aged 14 and above. Children under 14 years old should be supervised by an adult during assembly.
- Preparation: Carefully remove all wooden pieces from the plywood sheets. Use sandpaper if necessary to smooth any rough edges. Organize pieces by number or type as indicated in the manual.
- Follow the Manual: Refer to the included English instruction manual for step-by-step assembly. The kit utilizes mortise and tenon construction for precise fitting.
- Mechanical Components: Assemble the internal gear mechanisms and the clock face according to the diagrams.
- Quartz Movement Installation: Once the main clock body is assembled, install the quartz movement into its designated slot. Ensure it is securely fitted.
- Pendulum Assembly: Attach the pendulum components, including the fine note tail pendulum and the gravity pendulum design, to the main clock body.
- Final Touches: Secure any decorative elements like the wood grain impregnation parts, Oman grain hammering, and Laurel branch decorations. Use the flexible hook combination for hanging.
4. Operating Instructions
- Install Battery: Insert one (1) conventional AA battery (not included) into the quartz clock movement. Ensure correct polarity.
- Set Time: Use the small dial on the back of the quartz movement to set the correct time.
- Hang the Clock: Hang the assembled clock securely on a wall using the integrated flexible hook combination.
- Adjust Pendulum: The clock features a bi-directional horizontal design for self-adjusting the center of gravity. Gently tilt the clock up to 5 degrees left or right using the adjustment dial on the back until the pendulum swings freely and consistently. This ensures accurate timekeeping and proper pendulum function.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Dust the clock regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the wooden components.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AA battery annually or when the clock starts losing time.
- Wooden Parts Care: Keep the clock away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
6. Troubleshooting
- Clock not keeping accurate time:
- Check if the AA battery is fresh and correctly installed. Ensure the pendulum is swinging freely and has been properly adjusted using the bi-directional horizontal design (refer to Operating Instructions).
- Pendulum not swinging:
- Verify that the clock is level and the pendulum is not obstructed. Adjust the clock's tilt slightly to find the optimal balance point.
- Loose wooden parts:
- If any wooden pieces become loose, carefully re-secure them. A small amount of wood glue (not included) can be used if necessary.
