REBOOTING
Using the tip of a pen press the “RESET” (
a2
) button to reboot the clock. The hour, minute and second
hands automatically reboot at the 12:00 noon position and enter into automatic signal reception mode.
SETTING THE CHIME (WESTMINSTER CHIMES):
This clock is set to chime from 06:00am to 21:00pm. As such it does not chime between 22:00pm and
05:00am.
Insert 2x LR6
batteries in the speaker’s (
b2
) battery compartment respecting the polarities. The clock
will chime on the hour. The number of strikes after the melody corresponds with the time indicated on
the clock.
NB
: If the volume is low, adjust the volume of the chime.
RESOLVING FREQUENT PROBLEMS
Problems
Solutions
-
The hands of the clock still don’t move forward once
the batteries are inserted.
-
The clock doesn’t show the correct time because it
didn’t receive a signal within 15 minutes of inserting
the batteries.
Procedure: check that the batteries are correctly
inserted. Place the clock in another room or several
metres away from any computer, television, air
conditioner or other device and preferably near a
window. Hold down the “REC” button to restart
reception.
The clock doesn’t chime on the hour every hour.
Procedure: check whether the volume is set to OFF
(Stop) and that the batteries are not the wrong way
round. Where this is not the case, change the
batteries.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
Keep your clock clean and protected from moisture and corrosive elements.
If you position the clock in a different place to usual, this may lead to minor time inaccuracies
due to the change of longitude, temperature and altitude.
Keep hold of these instructions so you can consult them at a later date.
WARNING
1. To prevent the clock from toppling over, the latter must be placed on a flat, solid surface.
2. Thoroughly check the stability of the clock before leaving it in its place, especially if it is
positioned on a carpet.
3. Check its stability again
within the next hour making sure it hasn’t moved.
4. Incorrect installation may damage the clock and/or cause injury.
5.
Once you’ve finished the setting up your clock and you’ve noted that it is working correctly, get
rid of all the packaging and place this out of the reach of children.
6.
Don’t let children climb on the clock or pull the pendulum. They might damage the clock,
cause it to fall over and injure themselves.
7.
Don’t place anything on top of the clock as it might destabilise it. This might affect the chiming
and the clock could fall over.
8. When you move the clock, you must take care not to topple it as you could damage it and/or
injure yourself.
MAINTENANCE
Wax and maintain the
clock’s wooden casing as often as you do for your other wooden
furniture. Regularly clean the outside of the glass on your clock.
WARNING ABOUT THE BATTERIES
Do not mix alkaline, ordinary (carbon-zinc) and rechargeable (nickel metal hydride)
batteries.
