4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock.
2. Insert one AA (or specified type) battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Important: Use only the recommended battery type. Remove depleted batteries promptly to prevent leakage.

4.2 Initial Time Synchronization

After battery installation, the clock will automatically attempt to receive the radio time signal.

1. Place the clock near a window or in an open area, away from electronic devices that may cause interference.
2. The hands will typically move to the 12 o'clock position and then begin searching for the signal.
3. This process can take several minutes to several hours, depending on signal strength and location. Once the signal is received, the clock will automatically set itself to the correct time.

Note: If the clock does not set itself after a few hours, try repositioning it or manually initiating a signal search if your model has that feature (refer to troubleshooting).

4.3 Mounting the Clock

The AMS F5962 is designed for indoor wall mounting.

1. Choose a suitable location on an indoor wall, ensuring it is sturdy enough to support the clock's weight (approximately 1.22 kg).
2. Install a nail or wall anchor with a screw, ensuring it protrudes sufficiently (at least 2 cm) to securely hold the clock.
3. Hang the clock using the hanging mechanism on the back.

5. Operating Instructions

Once set up, the AMS F5962 operates automatically.

• Automatic Time Adjustment: The clock continuously monitors the radio time signal and adjusts itself for daylight saving time (DST) changes and maintains precise timekeeping without manual intervention.
• Manual Override (if applicable): Some radio-controlled clocks have a button to manually initiate a signal search or set the time. Refer to the back of your clock for any such buttons and their specific functions.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

To clean the clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components.

6.2 Battery Replacement

When the clock hands stop moving or the time becomes inaccurate, it is likely time to replace the battery.

1. Remove the old battery from the compartment.
2. Insert a new, fresh battery of the correct type (e.g., AA), observing polarity.
3. The clock will then attempt to re-synchronize with the radio signal as described in Section 4.2.

Environmental Note: Please dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
