Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clock stops or loses time. | Low or dead battery. | Replace the AA battery with a new one. Ensure correct polarity. |
| Clock hands are stuck or not moving smoothly. | Obstruction or damage to the movement. | Gently check if the hands are bent or touching each other or the clock face. If not, the internal mechanism may be faulty. |
| Loud ticking sound. | Characteristic of the quartz movement. | This model features a standard quartz movement which may produce an audible ticking sound. This is normal operation and not a defect. Consider placement in areas where ticking is less noticeable if it causes disturbance. |
| Time is incorrect after setting. | Hands were not properly aligned during manufacturing or shipping. | Re-set the time using the setting knob. If the issue persists, the hands may need gentle manual adjustment if accessible and safe to do so, or contact support. |
