4.2 Battery Replacement

Replace all 4 D-size batteries annually, or when the clock's functions (timekeeping, melodies, motion) begin to falter. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.

4.3 Storage

If storing the clock for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the clock's mechanism.

5. Troubleshooting

• Clock not keeping accurate time: Ensure batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Check if the time setting knob is secure.
• Melodies not playing: Verify the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position. Check the volume control. Ensure the room is adequately lit during daytime hours if the auto night shut-off feature is active. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Motion features not working: This is often related to low battery power. Replace all batteries. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the dial from opening or the bells from moving.
• Sound is distorted: Adjust the volume control. If the issue persists, replace batteries.
