4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install your Auriol XXL Wall Clock:

1. Choose Your Location: Select a suitable, smooth, clean, and dry wall surface for installation. Ensure it is free from dust, grease, or moisture.
2. Determine Diameter: Decide on your desired clock diameter, which can be individually selected between 90cm and 120cm.
3. Mark Placement: Use the provided stencil to mark the exact center point on your wall where the clock mechanism will be placed. Then, use the stencil to accurately mark the positions for the numbers and markers around the center point, ensuring even spacing for your chosen diameter.
4. Apply Numbers and Markers: Carefully peel the protective film from the back of each self-adhesive number and marker. Align them precisely with your stencil marks and firmly press them onto the wall. Ensure good contact to prevent them from falling off.
5. Install Battery: Open the battery compartment on the back of the clock mechanism. Insert one AA alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
6. Mount Clock Mechanism: Mount the clock mechanism onto the wall using the provided fixing hook. Ensure the mechanism is level and securely attached.
7. Attach Hands: Gently press the hour hand onto the central shaft of the clock mechanism, followed by the minute hand. Ensure they are parallel to each other and do not touch or rub against each other or the numbers/markers.

5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled and the battery is correctly inserted, the clock will begin to operate. The precise and quiet quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping.

• Setting the Time: To set the correct time, locate the small adjustment dial on the back of the clock mechanism. Gently rotate this dial clockwise until the hour and minute hands display the desired time.
• Important: Avoid moving the clock hands directly by hand, as this can damage the internal mechanism and affect accuracy. Always use the adjustment dial on the back.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your Auriol XXL Wall Clock.

• Cleaning: Clean the clock mechanism, hands, and numbers/markers with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish or mechanism.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the AA alkaline battery annually or when the clock starts losing time or stops functioning. Always use a fresh, high-quality alkaline battery.
• Disposal: Dispose of used batteries and any packaging materials according to local environmental regulations.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Auriol XXL Wall Clock, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Clock is not moving or losing time:
  • Check if the battery is inserted correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).
  • Replace the battery with a new AA alkaline battery.
  • Ensure the hour and minute hands are not touching each other or rubbing against the numbers/markers. Gently adjust them if necessary, using the adjustment dial on the back of the mechanism.
• Numbers or markers are falling off the wall:
  • Ensure the wall surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Dust, grease, or moisture can prevent proper adhesion.
  • If the adhesive has lost its stickiness, you may need to use a stronger, suitable adhesive (not included) to re-attach the components.
