3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Battery Installation
The clock requires one AA battery (not included). Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock mechanism. Insert the battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). The quartz movement will begin to operate silently.

3.2 Setting the Time
To set the time, use the small adjustment wheel located on the back of the clock mechanism. Rotate the wheel until the hour and minute hands display the correct time. Avoid moving the hands directly by hand, as this can damage the mechanism.
4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your yuandd DIY Large Wall Clock, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the acrylic numbers and hands with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the acrylic surface.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AA battery annually, or when the clock begins to lose time or stop. Always use a fresh, high-quality battery.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the clock components to prevent buildup, which can affect the aesthetic and potentially the movement.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your clock, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Clock Not Moving:
- Check if the battery is inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
- Replace the battery with a new one.
- Ensure the hour and minute hands are not bent or touching each other, or the numbers. Gently adjust if necessary.
- Incorrect Time:
- Adjust the time using the wheel on the back of the clock mechanism.
- If the clock consistently loses or gains time, replace the battery.
- Hands Interfering:
- Ensure the hands are securely attached but not too tight, allowing free movement.
- Gently bend the hands slightly if they are touching each other or the clock face/numbers.
