Operating Instructions
1. Setting the Time
- Locate the time adjustment knob on the right side of the clock.
- Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to adjust the minutes. The hour page cannot be adjusted directly; it will advance automatically as minutes are set.
- Adjust the time forward by 1 minute past the desired time, then set it back to the desired time. This allows the internal mechanism to fully generate current after battery insertion, ensuring accuracy.
- Do not manually move the flip pages directly, as this may affect the clock's timing accuracy.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the clock with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish or internal components.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the D battery every 5-6 months for optimal performance. It is recommended to use carbon-zinc batteries; alkaline batteries may reduce the clock's lifespan.
- Storage: If storing the clock for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage.
