Setup

1. Battery Installation:

   The Karlsson Mini Flip Wall Clock requires a total of 5 AA batteries for full functionality (timekeeping and flip calendar mechanism). It is crucial to install all batteries correctly in their designated compartments.

   • Locate the primary battery compartment, typically on the back of the clock. Insert the required AA batteries (usually 1 or 2), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). This compartment powers the main timekeeping mechanism.
   • Locate the secondary battery compartment, which often powers the flip calendar display. This compartment may be found behind a small removable cover or panel, sometimes on the side or within the main casing. Insert the remaining AA batteries (usually 3 or 4) into this compartment, observing correct polarity.

   Important: Ensure all 5 AA batteries are installed correctly across both compartments for both the analog clock and the automatic flip calendar to function properly. Failure to install all batteries, or incorrect placement, may result in the date, month, or year not flipping automatically.

2. Mounting (Optional):

   The clock can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a wall. If wall mounting, use appropriate hardware (not included) for your wall type and ensure the clock is securely fastened.

Operating Instructions

1. Setting the Time:

   Locate the time setting knob, usually on the back or side of the clock. Rotate the knob clockwise to advance the minute and hour hands until the correct time is displayed. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM if applicable to the flip mechanism (though the clock itself is analog, the date flip might be tied to a 24-hour cycle).
2. Setting the Date, Month, and Year:

   The flip calendar mechanism operates automatically. However, for initial setup or after battery replacement, you may need to manually advance the date, month, and year to the current settings.

   • Look for small adjustment wheels or buttons near the respective flip displays (Year, Month, Date, Day).
   • Carefully turn the wheels or press the buttons to advance each display until the current year, month, date, and day are shown.
   • The clock is designed to automatically advance the date at midnight and adjust for month-end and leap years.

   Caution: Do not force the flip mechanism. If it feels stuck, recheck battery installation or consult the troubleshooting section.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the clock's casing and display with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the clock.
• Battery Replacement: Replace all 5 AA batteries approximately once a year, or when the clock's timekeeping becomes inaccurate or the flip mechanism stops advancing. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones.
• Storage: If storing the clock for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent potential leakage and damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
