How do I set the time?
Locate the small knob on the back of the clock mechanism. Turn it gently to move the hands to the correct time.

What is the warranty period for this clock?
Refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
How should I clean the glass part?
Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass, to prevent liquid from entering the clock mechanism.
Does the clock make a ticking sound?

Troubleshooting
Clock is not ticking or showing time
Ensure a fresh battery is correctly inserted with the right polarity. Check that the clock hands are not touching each other or the dial.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Replace the battery with a new one. Ensure the clock is not near strong magnetic fields or in extreme temperatures.
Glass is smudged or dirty
Gently clean the glass with a suitable glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the clock.
