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 at 6:05 am ( 5 minutes past 6:00 ) with

knob A. See Figure 4.

3. Insert 1 AA alkaline battery into the clock battery chamber, according to the

positive (+) and negative (-)symbols.

4. Insert 2 AA alkaline batteries into 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 prior 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 completely, 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 may not remain coordinated

with the time on the clock. When this happens replace with new alkaline batteries

and reset the clock as above.
