- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
4.2 Setting the Time
- Locate the time-setting knob on the back of the clock, usually near the battery compartment.
- Gently turn the knob in either direction until the hour and minute hands display the correct time.

4.3 Mounting the Clock
The Yamazaki Home Rin Wall Clock is designed for wall mounting.
- Choose a suitable location on a wall that can support the weight of the clock (approximately 2.1 pounds).
- Use an appropriate wall anchor and screw for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, wood stud). Ensure the screw head is small enough to fit into the clock's hanging slot but large enough to hold it securely.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these may damage the finish.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AA battery approximately once a year, or when the clock begins to lose time or stop functioning. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 4.1.
- Wood Variation: Due to the natural wood material, slight variations in wood tone and grain are normal and contribute to the unique character of each clock.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clock is not running or losing time. | Battery is dead or incorrectly installed. | Replace the AA battery with a fresh one, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). |
| Clock hands are stuck. | Hands may be bent or obstructed. | Gently check if the hands are touching each other or the clock face. If bent, carefully straighten them. |
| Loud ticking sound. | This clock features a standard quartz movement which produces an audible ticking sound. | This is a normal characteristic of the clock's mechanism and not a defect. Consider placement in areas where ticking is less noticeable if preferred. |
