2. Setting the Time

- Locate the time-setting knob or wheel on the back of the clock.

- Ensure the clock is placed in its desired location, away from strong vibrations or magnetic fields.
Operating Instructions
The SmarTek ML-246-SL is a rotating clock, designed to display time with a unique visual movement. Once batteries are installed and the time is set, the clock will operate continuously.
- Time Display: The clock displays time using traditional hour and minute hands.
- Rotating Feature: The central mechanism or a specific element of the clock is designed to rotate, providing a dynamic visual effect. This rotation is automatic and continuous as long as the clock is powered.
- Reading the Time: Read the time as you would with any analog clock, observing the position of the hour and minute hands against the clock face.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the clock surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, sprays, or abrasive materials.
- Battery Replacement: When the clock hands begin to slow down or stop, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the "Battery Installation" steps in the Setup section. Always replace all batteries at the same time.
- Storage: If the clock will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
