4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking

1. Carefully remove the clock from its packaging.
2. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or returns.
3. Remove any protective films or inserts from the clock face or cuckoo opening.

4.2 Battery Installation

The clock requires batteries (type not specified, typically AA or C for cuckoo clocks). Please refer to the battery compartment for the correct battery type and quantity.

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock.
2. Insert the required batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

4.3 Pendulum Attachment

1. Gently attach the pendulum to the hook or slot provided at the bottom of the clock mechanism.
2. Ensure the pendulum hangs freely and can swing without obstruction.

4.4 Wall Mounting

1. Choose a suitable location on a sturdy wall, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
2. Use an appropriate wall anchor and screw (not included) for your wall type.
3. Hang the clock securely using the hanging slot on the back.
4. Ensure the clock is level to allow the pendulum to swing correctly.

4.5 Initial Time Setting and Cuckoo Synchronization

Accurate cuckoo chiming requires careful initial setup. It is recommended to perform this setup between 6:30 AM and 7:00 AM, or 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM, for optimal synchronization.

1. Set the Time: Gently turn the minute hand (the longer hand) clockwise to the current time. Do not move the hour hand directly. The clock will automatically adjust the hour hand as the minute hand passes 12.
2. Synchronize Cuckoo: After setting the time, allow the clock to run for a few minutes. If the cuckoo chimes do not match the hour, follow these steps:
   • Move the minute hand clockwise until the clock chimes the correct number of times for the current hour. For example, if it's 3:00 and the clock chimes 5 times, continue moving the minute hand until it chimes 3 times.
   • Once the cuckoo chimes match the hour, stop.
   • If the cuckoo chimes are still incorrect, remove the batteries, wait 1 minute, reinsert them, and repeat the time setting and synchronization process.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Timekeeping

Your Acctim Cuckoo Clock uses a precise quartz movement to keep accurate time. Once set, it will continue to display the correct time as long as the batteries have sufficient power.

5.2 Cuckoo Chime

The cuckoo will emerge and chime once for each hour, corresponding to the time displayed on the clock face. For example, at 3 o'clock, it will chime three times.

5.3 Automatic Night Shut-Off

For your convenience, the clock features an automatic night shut-off function. The cuckoo will not chime between 22:00 (10 PM) and 6:00 (6 AM) to ensure a quiet night's sleep. The cuckoo function will resume automatically at 6:00 AM.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the clock's exterior with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish.
• Avoid getting moisture into the clock mechanism.

6.2 Battery Replacement

When the clock's timekeeping becomes inaccurate, the cuckoo chime weakens, or the pendulum stops swinging, it is time to replace the batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type.

6.3 Pendulum Care

Ensure the pendulum swings freely and is not obstructed by the wall or other objects. Periodically check that it is securely attached.
