Configuració
1. Instal·lació de la bateria
Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock. Insert two C-size batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). The clock requires 2 C batteries for operation.
2. Placement for Optimal Radio Wave Reception
For best performance, place the clock near a window where it can easily receive radio waves. Avoid locations near sources of radio interference such as:
- Inside buildings, basements, or areas with thick concrete walls.
- Close to high-voltage power lines, TV towers, or train tracks.
- Near electrical appliances and office equipment (TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, fax machines).
- In vehicles (cars, trains, airplanes).
- Over or near large metal furniture like steel desks.

3. Configuració inicial de l'hora
After battery installation, the clock will automatically attempt to receive radio waves and set the correct time. This process may take several minutes. If radio waves are not received, the clock will operate with standard quartz accuracy.
Instruccions de funcionament
1. Chime and Strike Settings
The clock offers various chime and strike options:
- Westminster Chime + Counting: Plays the Westminster melody on the quarter hour and strikes the hour count.
- 4 Locations of Westminster Chime: Plays the Westminster melody at specific intervals.
- Positive Time Count Only: Strikes the hour count without a preceding melody.
Refer to the controls on the back of the clock to select your preferred chime mode and adjust the volume. The clock also features a night mute function, which can silence the chimes during specific hours (e.g., when the room is dark).
2. Radio Wave Reception
The clock automatically attempts to receive time calibration signals (40 kHz/60 kHz) to maintain precise time. This function can be manually turned off if desired, in which case the clock will operate as a standard quartz clock.
3. Manual Time Adjustment
In areas where radio wave reception is consistently poor, or if you prefer manual control, you can adjust the time using the setting controls on the back of the clock. Consult the specific buttons and dials for hour and minute adjustments.
Manteniment
1. Substitució de la bateria
Replace batteries annually or when the clock's performance (e.g., chime volume, time accuracy) begins to degrade. Always replace all batteries at once with new, high-quality C-size batteries. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
2. Neteja
Wipe the clock's wooden frame and glass with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical sprays, which may damage the finish.
