TIME AND CHIME SETTING:
This timepiece plays a Westminster chime melody on the hour and has
an automatic shut-off. The clock does not chime between 10:00 pm and
6:00 am. To ensure that your clock functions correctly, please follow
the time and chime setting precisely. The clock will chime during the
day and will automatically turn off at night.
1. Pull upwards the back panel of the top unit.
2. Before inserting batteries, set the clock to 6:05 am (5 minutes past
6) with knob A.
3. Insert 1AA alkaline battery into the clock battery chamber
according to the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols.
4. Insert 2AA alkaline batteries into the chime battery chamber
according to the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols. Make sure
the batteries are secure in the holder. The clock will chime
automatically and toll 6 times.
5. Now turn hands (using knob A) slowly to the present hour in a
clockwise direction. Remember that the clock started at 6:05 in the
morning. If setting at night, lets say 9:20 pm, then the hands will
be turned thus – 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 then 9:20.
The last strike you hear will be 9 times.
NOTE: When moving hands to the present time, the clock will begin
chiming. Do not be concerned about this. The last strike you hear after
setting the clock at the appointed time will be the correct one.

6. When replacing batteries remember that all the above must be
repeated from point one. i.e. the clock must be started again at 6:05
am. Therefore, please do not throw these instructions away as by
the time the batteries have to be replaced, you may have forgotten
how to set the clock.
7. To eliminate chimes, remove the two batteries from the chime
battery chamber.
8. Never turn clock hands counter-clockwise as it will interrupt the
chime sequence and damage the clock.
NOTE: When the batteries are low, the chimes will not remain
coordinated with the time on the clock. When this happens replace with
new alkaline batteries and reset the clock as above.
PENDULUM SETTING
1. Insert 2 C alkaline batteries into the pendulum battery chamber.
Ensure that the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols are as shown
(Figure F).
NOTE: The small black plastic pendulum may be attached to the casing
to prevent swinging during transport.
2. Use a small amount of pressure to loosen the pendulum and allow
it to swing freely.
7
3. Attach the main pendulum to the base of the black pendulum.
Make sure the silver side of the pendulum bob faces the front of
the clock.
4. Once the main pendulum is attached, give it a slight push sideways
to start it swinging.
