Setting the Time

- Locate the time setting knob on the back of the clock, typically a small wheel or dial near the center of the movement.
- Gently turn the knob in either direction to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- For best accuracy, set the time a minute or two ahead, then wait for the exact time to arrive before stopping the hands.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the clock, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these may damage the finish or internal components.
- Battery Replacement: If the clock is battery-powered and begins to lose time or stops running, replace the AA battery with a fresh one.
- Storage: If storing the clock for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage and potential damage.
