4. Configuració
4.1. Instal·lació de la bateria
- Localitzeu el compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del rellotge.
- Obriu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
- Insert one AA (or specified type) battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Tanqueu bé la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Muntatge del rellotge
El rellotge està dissenyat per muntar-se a la paret.
- Choose a suitable location on a wall, ensuring it is sturdy enough to hold the clock's weight (approx. 1.6 kg).
- Use an appropriate wall anchor and screw (not included) for your wall type.
- Pengeu el rellotge de forma segura utilitzant la ranura per penjar a la part posterior.
5. Funcionament
5.1. Visualització del temps
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. Manteniment
6.1. Neteja
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. Substitució de la bateria
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. Emmagatzematge
If you plan to store the clock for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage to the movement.
7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
