Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock.
- Insert one (1) AA battery, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings in the compartment. The plus side of the battery should be inserted first.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Setting the Time
- Locate the time adjustment 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.
- Avoid moving the hands directly as this may damage the movement.
3. Mounting the Clock
- Choose a suitable location on a wall for hanging.
- Install a sturdy nail or screw into the wall at the desired height. Ensure the nail/screw is securely anchored and can support the clock's weight.
- Align the keyhole slot on the back of the clock with the installed nail/screw.
- Carefully hang the clock, ensuring it is level and stable.
