2. Initial Time Synchronization (Radio Control)

The clock is designed to automatically set itself to the correct time using a radio signal (UK & Ireland only). 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 open area, away from large metal objects or electronic devices that might interfere with the signal.
  • Once the battery is inserted, the clock hands will typically move to the 12 o'clock position and then begin searching for the radio signal.
  • Allow the clock sufficient time to receive the signal and set itself. Do not manually adjust the hands during this process.

  • Use an appropriate wall anchor and screw (not included) for secure mounting.
  • Hang the clock using the keyhole slot on the back.
