Setup Instructions

1. Battery Installation

Your Seiko QXH057B clock requires one 'C' size battery (included). Follow these steps to install the battery:

1. Carefully open the battery compartment cover located on the back of the clock.
2. Insert one 'C' size battery, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the indicators inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Visual Aid: An illustration showing the back of the clock with the battery compartment open and a 'C' battery being inserted would be helpful here.

2. Setting the Time

To set the correct time on your analog clock:

• Locate the time setting knob, usually found on the back of the clock mechanism.
• Gently turn the knob clockwise until the hour and minute hands indicate the desired time.
• Avoid turning the hands directly, as this may damage the clock mechanism.

Visual Aid: An image highlighting the time setting knob on the back of the clock would be beneficial.

3. Attaching the Pendulum

The Seiko QXH057B features a decorative pendulum. To attach it:

1. Carefully unpack the pendulum from its protective packaging.
2. Locate the pendulum hook or slot at the bottom of the clock mechanism.
3. Gently hang or insert the pendulum into its designated position. Ensure it swings freely.

Visual Aid: A close-up image showing the pendulum attachment point and the pendulum being installed would clarify this step.

4. Wall Mounting

To securely mount your clock on a wall:

• Choose a suitable location on a sturdy wall, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes.
• Use an appropriate wall anchor and screw for your wall type.
• Hang the clock using the keyhole slot on the back, ensuring it is level and stable.

Visual Aid: An image demonstrating the keyhole slot on the back of the clock and how it hangs on a wall screw would be useful.

Operating Instructions

1. Pendulum Operation

Once the pendulum is attached, gently push it to one side to start its swing. The pendulum should swing freely and consistently.

2. Hourly Chime Function

Your Seiko QXH057B clock features an hourly chime. The chime will sound on the hour. It also includes a night-time shut-off function to prevent chiming during sleeping hours.

• Night-time Shut-off: The chime automatically silences between approximately 11:00 PM and 5:45 AM.
• The chime will resume automatically after the night-time shut-off period.

3. Volume Control

To adjust the volume of the hourly chime:

• Locate the volume control dial or switch on the back or side of the clock.
• Turn the dial or move the switch to increase or decrease the chime volume to your preference.

Visual Aid: An image pointing to the volume control on the clock would be helpful.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

• Wipe the clock casing with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the wood finish or clock mechanism.
• For the glass, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with glass cleaner, then wipe dry immediately.

2. Battery Replacement

Replace the 'C' battery approximately once a year, or when you notice the clock losing time or the chime becoming weak. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for replacement steps.

• Always use a fresh, high-quality 'C' size alkaline battery.
• Remove depleted batteries promptly to prevent leakage and damage to the clock.
