Troubleshooting
Clock not keeping accurate time
Ensure a fresh battery is correctly inserted. Check that the clock hands are not obstructed or bent.
Glass surface appears smudged
Gently wipe the glass with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a glass cleaner sparingly and wipe with a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth.
Clock mechanism is noisy
This is rare for quality mechanisms. If persistent, consider replacing the clock's timekeeping movement.
Difficulty hanging the clock securely
Consult a professional if unsure about wall mounting. Ensure you are using wall anchors appropriate for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster) and the clock's weight.
