• This product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children. Only use the product out of
the reach of children. The product contains small parts and a battery that could be swallowed.
• Condensation may form when the product is brought from a cold room into a warm one. Therefore,
wait until it has reached room temperature before using it.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, as it could become a dangerous plaything
for children.
• Do not expose the product to high temperatures, strong vibrations or heavy mechanical loads.
Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by children or pets. If
they are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged normal / rechargeable batteries in contact with the skin can cause acid burns; there-
fore, use suitable safety gloves.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown into
fi
re. There is a risk of
explosion!
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries, risk of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries
that are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.
• Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the battery/rechargeable battery (pay attention to plus/+
and
minus/-).
Installation
Please proceed in the following sequence:
1. Insert the suspension bracket, if necessary, to the hand shaft (required only for B/N 43 97 87).
2. Insert the supplied rubber washer to the hand shaft.
3. Insert the clock from the back through the hole in the dial and align it with the hanger horizontally
from above.
4. Place the shim on the hand shaft and screw the clock in place using the central hexagon nut.
Do not tighten the nut too tightly to avoid distortion and damage.
5. Insert the hour hand
fi
rst and then the minute hand gently to the hand shaft and secure the minute hand
using the small knurled nut. If a second hand is used, the cap nut can be used to cover the hand shaft.
For B/N 43 97 87, the minute hand must not be secured.
6. Finally insert the second hand into the hand shaft, if used.
7. Align all the hands of the clock to the 12:00 o'clock position.
8. Make sure that the hands are aligned parallel to the dial, so that you cannot touch or drag on the dial
during subsequent operation.
The minute and second hands should not exceed the following dimensions and weights:
Minute hand: max. 160 mm / 6 g
Second hand: max. 130 mm / 6g
Inserting the Battery/Rechargeable Battery
• Insert a battery of the 1.5V AA/Mignon type into the battery compartment on the back of the case. The
correct polarity is indicated in the battery compartment.
• Replacing the battery is necessary when the clock stops or the accuracy of movement decreases.
A rechargeable battery may be used, but due to the lower voltage output (rechargeable battery
= 1.2V, standard battery = 1.5V) and the lower capacity, the service life is shorter.
Setting the time
Set the time by turning the adjustment knob with the clock symbol on the back of the case. The adjustment
knob can be rotated in both directions here.
Maintenance and Cleaning
To clean the clock, a dry, soft and clean cloth or a brush is suf
fi
cient. Do not use any chemical cleaning
agents, as they can discolour the plastic case.
Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable waste materials and must not be disposed of in the household
waste!
Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statutory regulations.
Remove the battery if there is one inserted and dispose of it separately from the product.
b) Normal and Rechargeable Batteries
As the end user, you are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all used batteries/re-
chargeable batteries; disposal of them in the household waste is prohibited.
Batteries / rechargeable batteries containing harmful substances are marked with the follow-
ing symbols, to indicate that disposal in the domestic waste is forbidden. The symbols of the
relevant heavy metals are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead. You can return your used
batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge to the of
fi
cial collection points in your municipal-
ity, in our stores, or anywhere where batteries or rechargeable batteries are sold.
You thereby ful
fi
l your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
