Troubleshooting

Clock is not ticking or hands are not moving

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the right polarity. Try a fresh battery. Check that the hands are not catching on each other or the dial. Gently adjust if necessary.

Clock is losing or gaining time

Replace the battery with a new, high-quality one. Ensure the clock is on a level surface. For precise timekeeping, check if the movement requires manual adjustment or if the battery needs replacing more frequently.

Glass panels appear smudged or dirty

Use a dedicated glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Apply the cleaner to the cloth first, then wipe the glass. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

Skeleton movement appears obstructed

Carefully inspect for any debris. If an obstruction is visible and cannot be removed gently with a soft brush, do not force it. Contact customer support.
