Setup and Battery Installation
To set up your Bulova B1881 Holyoke Clock, you will need one AA battery (not included). Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Carefully turn the clock over to access the back panel.
- Locate the battery compartment cover. This is typically a small plastic cover that can be slid or gently pried open.
- Insert one new AA battery, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover securely.
Operating the Clock
Once the battery is installed, you can set the time:
- Locate the time-setting knob on the back of the clock, usually near the battery compartment.
- Gently turn this knob in either direction until the hour and minute hands display the correct time.
- The clock will begin to operate immediately after the time is set.
Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your Bulova Holyoke Clock.
- Cleaning: Wipe the wood case with a soft, dry cloth. For the glass lens, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with a glass cleaner, avoiding direct spray onto the clock mechanism.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AA battery approximately once a year, or when the clock begins to lose time or stops functioning. Always use a fresh, high-quality alkaline battery.
- Placement: Avoid placing the clock in direct sunlight or near extreme temperature changes, as this can affect the wood finish and clock mechanism.
