6.2 Battery Replacement

When the clock stops or the second hand's movement becomes erratic, it is time to replace the battery. Follow the steps in Section 4.1 for battery installation. Ensure you use a fresh AA battery.

7. Troubleshooting

• Clock not running:
  • Check if the battery is inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
  • Replace the battery with a new AA battery.
  • Ensure the time setting knob is not stuck or obstructed.
• Time inaccuracy:
  • While quartz movements are highly accurate, minor time deviations (e.g., gaining or losing a minute per month) can occur. This is generally within acceptable limits for a quartz clock.
  • Ensure the clock is not exposed to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.
