Using the Alarm

To set the alarm, move the knob on the right while looking at the
small alarm hand.  Notice the small tick marks at the edge of the
clock dial.  These marks help you set the alarm to the desired
time.  (The lack of numbers on some dials is for aesthetic rea-
sons.)  Once the alarm hand is pointing to the desired alarm time,
turn the switch on the right side of the back of the clock up into
the “On” position.  Your alarm is now set.  

Care of Your Zen Alarm Clock
The Zen Alarm Clock is designed for indoor use only.  Keep it out
of direct sunlight and free from excessive dust, dirt or moisture.
Clean the clock with a dry cloth.  Never use detergents, furniture
polishes, or oils on your clock as these liquids may come into con-
tact with the clock’s internal circuitry and cause a malfunction.

Trouble Shooting––Weak Chime Strikes or Malfunctions
The Zen Alarm Clock is like a musical instrument.  The chime
must be centered horizontally and vertically in front of the striker
for a strong and clear chime.  If your chime makes a clicking
sound, or if the strike seems weak, try moving the chime by scoot-
ing it up or down on the string one side at a time until it is adjust-
