Package Contents

Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock.
- Insert one (1) AA battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Initial Time Setting (Radio-Controlled Function)
The Karlsson KW0018GY is a radio-controlled clock. Upon battery insertion, the clock will automatically search for the time signal. This process may take several minutes to a few hours, depending on your location and signal strength.
- Place the clock near a window or in an area with good reception, away from electronic devices that may cause interference.
- The hands will typically move to the 12 o'clock position and then begin to set themselves to the correct time once the signal is received.
- Avoid manually adjusting the hands, as this can interfere with the radio-controlled mechanism.
3. Mounting the Clock
The clock is designed for wall mounting. Use a suitable screw or hook (not included) in a sturdy wall location.
- Ensure the mounting point is strong enough to support the clock's weight (approximately 1.58 kg).
- Hang the clock securely using the integrated hanging slot on the back.

The hour markers are a combination of rectangular cutouts and small dots. The brand name "KARLSSON" is subtly printed near the top center.
Operating the Clock
Once the battery is installed and the radio signal is acquired, the clock will automatically display the correct time and adjust for Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes.
- The clock operates continuously as long as the battery has sufficient power.
- No manual adjustments are typically required after the initial setup, thanks to the radio-controlled feature.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish.
Battery Replacement
When the clock hands stop moving or the time becomes inaccurate, it is likely time to replace the battery. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section.
- Always replace with a fresh AA battery.
- After replacing the battery, the clock will re-initiate the radio-controlled time setting process.
