2. Configuració de l'hora

To set the time, gently turn the minute hand clockwise using the small knob located on the back of the clock mechanism. Do not move the hour hand directly. Allow the clock to chime at each hour as you pass it to synchronize the chime with the time.

3. Initial Chime Synchronization

After setting the time, the chime mechanism may need to synchronize with the hour. If the chime does not correspond to the hour displayed, allow the clock to run for approximately one hour. The chime should automatically correct itself. If not, repeat the time setting process, ensuring you pass each hour slowly to allow the mechanism to register.

Instruccions de funcionament

1. Selecció de timbre

Your Bulova B1514 clock features a Harmonic 2 triple-chime movement, offering several chime options. A selector switch, typically located on the back or bottom of the clock, allows you to choose from the following:

• Campanada de Westminster: Plays a melody at each quarter-hour and strikes the hour.
• Ave Maria Melody: Plays the Ave Maria melody on the hour.
• Bim-Bam Melody: Plays the Bim-Bam melody on the hour.
• Hour Strike Only: Strikes the hour without a preceding melody.
• 4/4 Quarter-Hour Westminster Chime: Plays a portion of the Westminster melody at each quarter-hour, building up to the full melody and hour strike on the hour.

Refer to the video below for an auditory demonstration of the chime options.

2. Control de volum

The clock features an adjustable volume control for the chimes. This control is typically a small dial or slider located near the chime selector switch on the back of the clock. Adjust it to your preferred sound level.

3. Automatic Night Shut-off

For undisturbed sleep, the clock includes an automatic night shut-off switch. When activated, this feature silences the chimes during nighttime hours (typically 10 PM to 6 AM). Locate the switch on the back of the clock and set it to the "ON" or "OFF" position as desired.

Manteniment

1. Neteja

To maintain the appearance of your clock, dust the hardwood case with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes that may damage the finish. The protective convex lens can be gently wiped with a soft, lint-free cloth.

2. Substitució de la bateria

Replace batteries annually or when the clock stops keeping accurate time or the chimes become weak or cease functioning. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for proper replacement procedures. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.

Resolució de problemes

• Clock not running or chimes not sounding: Check that batteries are inserted correctly with proper polarity and are not depleted. Replace all batteries if necessary.
• Chimes are out of sync with the time: Reset the time by gently advancing the minute hand clockwise past 12 o'clock. Allow the clock to chime at each hour to re-synchronize the mechanism.
• Chimes are too loud or too quiet: Adjust the volume control dial located on the back of the clock.
• Chimes are not sounding at night: Verify the automatic night shut-off switch is in the "OFF" position if you desire chimes during nighttime hours.
• Inconsistent chime operation or poor sound quality: This may indicate low battery power. Replace the C batteries.
