jam in the mechanism, however, fear not! This is in fact a 
well-recognized sign that the motor is receiving insufficient 
power from the batteries because either (a.) The batteries are 
running low and need replacing or (b.) One or more of the 
batteries have popped out of position and so are not making 
good contact with the circuit. If the lighthouse is not flashing 
at all or doing a double-flash, it’s a likely sign that the 
batteries are dead. Try checking the batteries are correctly 
installed or replace with new ones and normal working order 
should be restored.

The tidal movements do not match what I

 

see the sea doing at my local beach or

 

harbour

If you haven’t done so already, we thoroughly recommend 
reading the previous section “How your Tide Clock works”.

This explains how the clock’s tide mechanism works to match 
the timings of the gravitational pull of the Moon as it orbits 
the Earth. Reading this section should help you to recognise 
that any tide clock will have its limitations because there are 
additional geographical factors at play that create your local 
tidal pattern each day and lunar month.

Please also refer back to the “Setting your Tide Clock” section 
and follow the steps outlined that help you set the clock for 
maximum accuracy.

For more information, please take a look at the FAQs section 
on our website where we have included links to websites that 
explain this in more detail.
