Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the clock from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage. Inspect the clock for any signs of damage.
2. Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock. Insert the required batteries (not included) according to the polarity indicators (+/-). Ensure the batteries are fresh and of the correct type.
3. Mounting: Choose a suitable location on a sturdy wall, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong vibrations. Use appropriate wall anchors and screws to securely mount the clock.
4. Initial Time Setting: The clock features a modern radio-controlled pendulum mechanism. Once batteries are installed, the clock will automatically search for the radio signal to set the correct time. This process may take several minutes. Ensure the clock is placed in an area with good radio reception. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or electronic devices that may interfere with the signal.
5. Pendulum Installation: Carefully attach the polished Lyra pendulum rod to its designated hook or slot. Ensure it hangs freely and can swing without obstruction.

Operating Instructions

Your AMS F5015/4 clock is designed for ease of use with its advanced features.

• Automatic Time Synchronization: The radio-controlled mechanism ensures the clock always displays the precise time. It automatically adjusts for daylight saving time (summer/winter time) changes.
• Melody Selection: The high-quality chime system offers a choice of traditional melodies. Refer to the controls on the back or side of the clock to select between:
  • Westminster Chime
  • Notre-Dame Chime
  • Classic Bim-Bam Strike
  Adjust the volume as desired using the dedicated control.
• Intelligent Night Shut-off: The integrated automatic rest function deactivates the striking mechanism during evening hours to ensure undisturbed sleep. This feature typically operates from late evening until early morning, automatically resuming chimes during the day. No manual intervention is required for this function.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the clock case and glass, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks on the wooden case, a slightly damp cloth with a mild wood cleaner can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace all batteries at the same time when the clock's performance (e.g., timekeeping accuracy, chime volume) begins to diminish. Always use new batteries of the recommended type. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
• General Care: Do not expose the clock to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Avoid strong impacts or vibrations.
