4.2 Volume Control

Use the volume switch on the back of the clock to adjust the chime sound. Available options are:

• Large: Full volume chime.

• Mute: Silences the chime completely.

4.3 Night Mode

The clock features a night mode that allows you to set a continuous 12-hour period during which the chime will be silenced. This function is designed to prevent the cuckoo from chiming during nighttime hours.

Refer to the specific markings or instructions on the back of the clock near the volume switch for details on how to set the night mode period.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Replacement

• Replace all three AA batteries when the clock hands stop moving, or the chime becomes faint or stops.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage.
• Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.

5.2 Cleaning

• Wipe the clock surface with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, or strong detergents, as these may damage the finish or internal components.

6. Troubleshooting

• Clock Hands Not Moving:
  • Check if the clock mechanism battery (one AA battery) is inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
  • Replace the clock mechanism battery with a new one.
• Cuckoo Chime Not Working or Incorrectly Chiming:
  • Check if the chime function batteries (two AA batteries) are inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
  • Replace the chime function batteries with new ones.
  • Ensure the volume switch on the back of the clock is not set to "Mute".
  • Verify that the clock is not currently in its programmed 12-hour silent period (Night Mode).
