General Use Precautions 

Do not expose this clock to temperatures outside the range of 32˚ to 140°F (0˚ to 60˚C). Placing your 
device in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit. Do not place heavy objects 
on top of this clock or use excessive force on it. Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other 
chemical products to clean the outside of this clock. Such products will disfigure and discolor the 
casing. 
 

 

Please refer to the “Care and Cleaning” section of this document for details on cleaning and 
recommended products. 

 

 

 

The Masterclocks's CLKTCD clock warranty may be void as a result of the failure to respect 
the precautions stated above.
 

 

 

Health and Safety 

This clock generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is 
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this clock does cause 
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by removing power 
from the clock, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 
following measures: 

1.

 

Connect the AC power cord into an outlet on a different circuit than other devices. 

2.

 

Increase the physical distance between the clock and other devices. 

3.

 

Contact technical support. 

 

 

This CLKTCD analog clock has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
 

Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device. Read this User’s 
Manual carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device. Do not open your 
Masterclock product or attempt to disassemble or modify it. 
 

 

Never insert any metallic object into the clocks case, doing so increases the risk of electrical 
shock, short circuiting, fire or personal injury. 

 

 

 

Never expose your clock to rain or use it near water or in damp or wet conditions. Never 
place objects containing liquids on or near this clock, as they may spill into its openings 
increasing the risk of electrical shock, short circuiting, fire or personal injury.
