QUARTZ MOVEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE TIME
1. Before inserting the batteries (Figure 2), adjust the time to 5:50 by using the Time Setting knob
(Figure 2) to rotate the hands CLOCKWISE.
2. Install two “C” size alkaline batteries according to the +/- symbols in the battery holders.

3. Set the time by using the Time Setting knob (Figure 2) to rotate the hands CLOCKWISE. If
setting the time for PM, make sure the hour hand passes through 12 o’clock noon until the

the melody will adjust to the time selected, however, it is important that the clock movement
operate for at least one hour for the chime sequence to become fully functional. The clock
may chime out of sequence during the rst hour of operation. The quartz movement is highly
accurate and has been adjusted at the factory for precise time keeping.
