3. Setting the Time
To set the time:
- Gently turn the minute hand clockwise using the small dial on the back of the clock until the correct time is displayed.

4. Attaching the Pendulum

Operating Instructions
Timekeeping
The Karlsson KA5768GY features an analog display with a silent timekeeping mechanism, ensuring quiet operation throughout the day and night.
Cuckoo Feature
The clock includes an hourly bird feature. A small bird emerges from its opening and emits a chirping sound at the top of each hour. This is a distinct bird sound, not a traditional 'cuckoo' call.

Night Mode (Automatic Shut-off)
The clock is equipped with an automatic night mode feature. The hourly bird chirping sound will automatically cease during nighttime hours to prevent disturbance. The exact duration of the silent period is pre-programmed and cannot be adjusted manually.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the ABS material and finish.
Battery Replacement
When the clock hands slow down, the bird feature becomes inconsistent, or the sound weakens, it is time to replace the batteries. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section for instructions. Always replace all three batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality AA batteries.
Troubleshooting
- Clock not keeping accurate time:
Check if the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. If the issue persists, replace the batteries. Ensure the hands are not obstructed. - Bird feature not working or inconsistent:
Verify that the batteries are fresh. The bird feature may not operate during the automatic night mode. If the problem occurs during daytime, replace the batteries. - No sound from the bird:
Confirm that the clock is not in its automatic night mode. Ensure batteries are fresh. - Pendulum not swinging:
Ensure the pendulum is correctly attached and has enough clearance to swing freely without obstruction.
