Operating Instructions
Chime Function (Westminster Melody)
The Bulova Cambria Mantel Clock features a Westminster melody that plays on the hour. Some models may offer additional chime options or settings.
- Hourly Chime: The clock will play the full Westminster melody at the top of each hour.
- Night Shut-off: Some models may include an automatic night shut-off feature, typically from 11:00 PM to 5:45 AM, to prevent chimes during sleeping hours. Refer to your specific model's controls for this feature.
- Volume Control: A volume control dial or switch may be present on the back of the clock or the chime unit to adjust the loudness of the melody.
- Chime On/Off: A switch is usually available to turn the chime function completely off if desired.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Wipe the wooden case with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes that may damage the finish.
- For the glass lens, use a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the clock.
Battery Replacement
Replace batteries annually or when the clock begins to lose time or the chime weakens. Always use fresh, high-quality AA batteries.
- Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section.
- Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
Troubleshooting
- Clock Not Keeping Time: Ensure batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Check that the time-setting knob is not loose.
- Chime Not Sounding: Verify that the chime batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Check if the chime function is turned on and not in night shut-off mode. Ensure the volume is not set to minimum.
- Irregular Chime: This may indicate low chime battery power. Replace the chime batteries.
