5. Setup Instructions

5.1 Battery Installation

The clock requires three (3) AA batteries in total: two for the moving gears and one for the clock movement.

1. Locate the two battery compartments on the back of the clock.
2. Open the cover of the compartment labeled for "moving gears" (usually requiring 2 AA batteries). Insert two AA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are aligned correctly.
3. Open the cover of the compartment labeled for "movement" (usually requiring 1 AA battery). Insert one AA battery, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close both battery compartment covers securely.

5.2 Setting the Time

After installing the batteries:

1. Locate the time-setting knob on the back of the clock, typically near the single AA battery compartment.
2. Gently turn the knob in either direction to adjust the clock hands to the correct time.
3. Avoid forcing the hands directly, as this can damage the movement.

5.3 Mounting the Clock

The clock is designed for wall mounting.

1. Choose a suitable location on a sturdy wall, away from direct heat sources or excessive vibrations.
2. Use an appropriate wall anchor and screw (not included) capable of supporting the clock's weight (approximately 5.46 lbs or 2.48 kg).
3. Hang the clock securely using the integrated hanging hook on the back.
4. Ensure the clock is level for optimal appearance.

6. Operating Instructions

Once batteries are installed and the time is set, the clock will begin to operate.

• Timekeeping: The clock hands will move continuously, indicating the current time.
• Moving Gears: The decorative gears will rotate continuously as long as their dedicated battery compartment has power. These gears are for aesthetic purposes and do not affect timekeeping.
• The gear mechanism may produce a soft, infrequent, light whistling sound during operation. This is normal.

7. Maintenance

Regular care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your clock.

• Cleaning: Wipe the clock surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the clock hands stop moving or the gears cease rotation. It is recommended to replace all batteries at the same time for optimal performance.
• Gear Mechanism: The moving gears are designed to operate without lubrication. Do not attempt to oil or disassemble the gear mechanism.
