Operating Instructions

Melody Selection

The clock features 18 melodies. Locate the 'Melody Selection' switch on the back of the clock. This switch allows you to choose between different melody groups or turn them off.

  • Group A (Classical Melodies): The Four Seasons "Spring," Kanon, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral", "Morning" From Peer Gynt, La Traviata "Drinking Song"
  • Group B (Popular Melodies): Amazing Grace, The Planets "Jupiter", Waltz Of The Flowers, Salut d"Amour, Pictures At An Exhibition "Promenade", Dance Of The Reed Pipes

Volume Control

Adjust the volume of the melodies using the 'Volume' knob or switch located on the back of the clock. Turn it to increase or decrease the sound level to your preference.

Light Sensor (Night Mode)

The clock is equipped with a light sensor. This feature automatically disengages all melodies and pendulum motion when the room becomes dark. This ensures quiet operation during nighttime hours. Melodies and motion will resume automatically when sufficient light is detected.

Maintenance

Cleaning

  • Wipe the clock's surface with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish.
  • For glass surfaces, use a glass cleaner applied to a cloth, not directly to the clock.

Battery Replacement

When the clock's performance diminishes (e.g., melodies become faint, pendulum stops, or timekeeping becomes inaccurate), it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the 'Setup' section, replacing all 4 AA batteries with new ones.
