4. Operating the Clock
Your JONES CLOCKS Bee Wall Clock uses an accurate and reliable quartz step movement. Once the battery is installed and the time is set, the clock will begin keeping time. The movement produces a faint ticking sound.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning
For cleaning, we recommend a light dusting with a soft, clean, and dry cloth only. The use of liquids and cleaning agents may damage the finish of your clock.
5.2. Battery Replacement
When the clock begins to lose time or stops, it is an indication that the battery needs to be replaced. Follow the battery installation steps (Section 3.1) to replace the AA battery with a new, high-quality alkaline battery.
6. Troubleshooting
- Clock not working or losing time: Ensure a new, high-quality alkaline AA battery is correctly installed with proper polarity. Old or poor-quality batteries are a common cause of malfunction.
- Hands are loose or clock stops: Verify the clock is not exposed to high humidity, intense heat, or direct sunlight, as these conditions can cause damage.
If issues persist after following these steps, please refer to the Warranty and Support section.
