Operating Instructions
Timekeeping
Once batteries are installed and the time is set, the clock will begin keeping time. The Karlsson Natural Cuckoo Wall Clock features a silent clock mechanism, ensuring quiet operation without a ticking sound.
Cuckoo Feature
The cuckoo bird will emerge and make a sound on the hour. Please note that the cuckoo bird in this model nods but does not move in or out of its opening. There may be a switch on the back of the clock to enable or disable the cuckoo sound, or to adjust its volume if applicable. Refer to the specific markings on your clock for these controls.
