TIME AND CHIME SETTING:
CONGRATULATIONS-You have purchased a quality clock
which plays the Westminster chime melody on the hour, tolls
the hour and has an automatic shut-off(clock does not chime
between 10.00 p.m. and 6.00a.m.).To ensure that your clock
functions correctly, please follow the time and chime setting

according to the positive (+) and negative (-)symbols. Make sure
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, to 9:20PM,then hands
