2. Ulwazi Lokuphepha

Please read all safety instructions carefully before using the clock. Keep this manual for future reference.

  • Ukuphepha Kwebhethri:
    • Use only the specified type and size of battery.
    • Insert batteries with correct polarity (+ and -). Incorrect insertion may cause damage.
    • Ungawahlanganisi amabhethri amadala namasha, noma izinhlobo ezahlukene zamabhethri.
    • Susa amabhethri aphelelwe yisikhathi ngokushesha ukuze uvimbele ukuvuza nomonakalo.
    • If the clock is not used for a long period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
    • Gcina amabhethri kude nezingane.
  • Izinyathelo ezijwayelekile zokuqapha:
    • Ungabeki iwashi emazingeni okushisa aphezulu, elangeni eliqondile, noma umswakama ophezulu.
    • Gwema ukudlidliza okunamandla noma imithelela.
    • Do not disassemble or modify the clock. This will void the warranty.
    • Clean the clock only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

4. Setha

4.1. Ukufakwa kwebhethri

  1. Bheka indawo yebhethri ngemuva kwewashi.
  2. Vula ikhava yengxenye yebhethri.
  3. Insert one AA (or specified type) battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
  4. Vala ikhava yengxenye yebhethri ngokuphephile.

4.2. Initial Time Synchronization (Radio-Controlled)

Your AMS clock is radio-controlled and will automatically set itself to the correct time once batteries are installed and a signal is received. This process may take a few minutes to several hours depending on your location and signal strength.

  1. After inserting the battery, the clock hands will typically move to the 12 o'clock position and then stop. This indicates it is searching for the radio signal.
  2. Place the clock in an area with good radio signal reception. Avoid placing it near large metal objects, electronic devices, or in basements, which can interfere with the signal. A window-facing wall is often ideal.
  3. Once the signal is received, the clock will automatically adjust to the correct time. This usually happens within a few minutes, but can take longer.
  4. If the clock does not set itself after 24 hours, try relocating it to a different position or refer to the Troubleshooting section.

4.3. Ukufaka Iwashi

Iwashi lenzelwe ukufakwa odongeni.

  1. Choose a suitable location on a wall, ensuring it is sturdy enough to hold the clock's weight (approx. 1.6 kg).
  2. Use an appropriate wall anchor and screw (not included) for your wall type.
  3. Hang the clock securely using the hanging slot on the back.

5. Ukusebenza

5.1. Isibonisi Sesikhathi

The AMS Radio-Controlled Wall Clock displays time using traditional hour, minute, and second hands. The large display ensures easy readability from a distance.

5.2. Radio Signal Reception

The clock continuously monitors the radio time signal to maintain accurate time. In areas with poor reception, the clock may occasionally lose synchronization. It will attempt to re-synchronize automatically. If the signal is consistently weak, you may need to relocate the clock.

5.3. Manual Time Setting (If Applicable)

Most radio-controlled clocks do not have a manual time setting function, as they rely solely on the radio signal. If your clock has a small button or dial on the back (often labeled "M.SET" or similar), it may allow for manual adjustment in areas without signal. Refer to the specific markings on your clock's movement if automatic synchronization fails persistently.

6. Isondlo

6.1. Ukuhlanza

To clean the clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or the mineral glass.

6.2. Ukushintshwa Kwebhethri

When the clock hands stop moving or the time becomes inaccurate, it is likely time to replace the battery. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 4.1. Always replace with a fresh, high-quality battery of the specified type.

6.3. Isitoreji

If you plan to store the clock for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage to the movement.

7. Ukuxazulula izinkinga

InkingaImbangela EngenzekaIsixazululo
Izandla zewashi azihambi noma ziyeke.Dead or low battery. Incorrect battery polarity.Replace battery with a fresh one, ensuring correct polarity.
Clock shows incorrect time or fails to synchronize.Poor radio signal reception. Interference from other electronics.Relocate the clock to an area with better signal (e.g., near a window, away from electronics). Allow up to 24 hours for synchronization.
Clock loses time or gains time intermittently.Weak battery. Intermittent signal loss.Replace battery. Check for consistent signal reception.
Hands are misaligned (e.g., not pointing to 12 after reset).Internal mechanism issue or strong magnetic interference.Remove battery for 1 minute, then reinsert. Allow clock to re-synchronize. If problem persists, contact support.
