Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the back of the clock (refer to Figure 3).
2. Insert two (2) AA alkaline batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Initial Time Setting (Radio Wave Reception)

This clock features a radio reception function to automatically set the time. For optimal reception, place the clock near a window and away from electronic devices that may cause interference.

Figure 4: Wave Ceptor Technology. This image displays the 'Wave Ceptor' logo, signifying the clock's ability to receive radio signals for accurate time synchronization.

• Upon battery installation, the clock will attempt to receive a time calibration signal automatically. This process may take several minutes.
• If automatic reception is unsuccessful, you can manually initiate reception or set the time manually.
• To manually initiate reception: Refer to the specific instructions for your region in the full manual (not provided here, but generally involves holding a button).
• To manually set the time: Use the time setting knob on the back of the clock (refer to Figure 3) to adjust the hour and minute hands.
• Ensure the Radio Wave Reception ON/OFF switch (refer to Figure 3) is in the 'ON' position for automatic synchronization.

Operating the Clock

1. Setting the Alarm

1. Use the alarm setting knob on the back of the clock (refer to Figure 3) to move the alarm hand to your desired alarm time.
2. Ensure the alarm ON/OFF switch (refer to Figure 3) is in the 'ON' position.

2. Alarm Functions

• Bell Alarm: When the alarm time is reached, the twin bells will ring loudly.
• Snooze Function: To temporarily stop the alarm and activate snooze, press the light button on top of the clock. The alarm will sound again after approximately 5 minutes.
• Stopping the Alarm: To permanently stop the alarm, slide the alarm ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position.

3. Light Function

• Press the light button on the top of the clock to illuminate the dial. The light features an afterglow function, remaining lit for a short period after the button is released.

4. Second Hand Stop Function

• When the alarm is set (alarm ON/OFF switch is 'ON'), the second hand will automatically stop at the 12 o'clock position to reduce noise. It will resume normal movement when the alarm is turned 'OFF'.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the clock with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the clock's display becomes dim or the alarm sound weakens. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AA alkaline batteries.

Troubleshooting

• Clock not displaying correct time: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power. Check if the radio wave reception is enabled and the clock is in a location with good signal. Manually set the time if automatic reception fails.
• Alarm not sounding: Verify that the alarm ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position and the alarm time is correctly set. Check battery power.
• No light: Check battery power.
• Second hand not moving: If the alarm is set to 'ON', the second hand will stop at 12 o'clock. This is normal operation. If the alarm is 'OFF' and the second hand is still not moving, check battery power.
