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.
