- Automatic adjustment for daylight saving time will occur without manual intervention.
3. Mounting the Clock
The clock is designed for wall mounting. Use appropriate hardware (not included) for your wall type to ensure secure installation.
- Select a suitable location on a wall, preferably indoors and away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Mark the desired position for the mounting screw/hook.
- Install a screw or hook securely into the wall, ensuring it can support the clock's weight (approximately 2.82 pounds).
- Carefully hang the clock onto the installed screw/hook using the hanging slot on the back of the clock.

- Radio Control: The integrated radio receiver ensures accurate timekeeping by synchronizing with a time signal.
- Automatic Adjustments: The clock automatically adjusts for daylight saving time (summer/winter time changes).
Maintenance
Cleaning
- To clean the clock, use a soft, dry cloth.
- For the glass, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth to prevent streaks.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
Battery Replacement
Replace the battery when the clock hands stop moving or the time becomes inaccurate. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section under Setup for instructions.
- Always use a fresh, high-quality AA battery.
- Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Clock does not start or stops | Dead or incorrectly installed battery. | Replace the battery with a new AA battery, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Clock displays incorrect time | Poor radio signal reception or interference. | Move the clock to a different location, away from electronic devices or large metal objects. Allow time for re-synchronization. |
