- Attach Clock Hands:
- Gently press the hour hand (7) onto the shaft, aligning it with the 12 o'clock position.
- Next, press the minute hand (8) onto the shaft, also aligning it with the 12 o'clock position.
- Finally, press the second hand (9) onto the shaft.
Important: Ensure the hour and minute hands are parallel to each other and do not touch. Avoid bending the hands during installation. The tip of the hand should align with the 12 o'clock mark.

Operating Instructions
Time Setting

Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AA battery approximately once a year, or when the clock starts losing time or the chime weakens. Always replace with a fresh, high-quality AA battery.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the clock movement and hands. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
